Miguel completed his postdoctoral work in the Zuchero lab studying cellular forces involved during myelination in the CNS. Identifying the mechanism of myelin wrapping is important in understanding neural development and is a critical first step towards creating much needed therapeutic approaches to stimulate remyelination in patients with demyelinating diseases.
Logan Cross is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer Science under the joint supervision of Prof. Dan Yamins and Prof. Nick Haber. His research combines interdisciplinary approaches to understand how intelligence emerges in humans and machines. Logan received his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Southern California. He completed his Ph.D in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. John O’Doherty.
Darrel Deo is a neural engineer developing prosthetic devices to help restore movement and communication to people with paralysis via brain-computer interfaces. Darrel received his B.S. degree in Robotics Engineering from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 2013. He then received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2015 and 2020, respectively, with Professors Allison Okamura, Krishna Shenoy, and Jaimie Henderson.
Elizabeth DuPre is a psychologist and computational neuroscientist developing methods to characterize complex, naturalistic cognition in health and disease. As a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Russ Poldrack, she is working to model individual brain activity across a range of cognitive states—and to assess the generalizability of these individualized models—by extending statistical methods for human neuroimaging data analysis.
Mengyuan’s research mainly focuses on determining the structures of CLC family proteins to further understand their transport mechanism in laboratory of Dr. Merritt Maduke. She received her Ph.D. in Department of Pharmacology from Case Western Reserve University with Dr. Derek Taylor. Her Ph.D. research focused on understanding the complex function of telomere binding proteins POT1-TPP1 in telomere maintenance and telomerase regulation. Mengyuan is collaborating with the laboratory of Dr.
Alex Williams is a neuroscientist and statistician developing large-scale neural data analysis methods. He began his career in research as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College and a research technician at Brandeis University, where he developed computational models to explain the function and long-term maintenance of invertebrate neural circuits. He then spent a year at the Salk Institute to study models of intracellular protein transport in neurons, before heading to Stanford to obtain his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Surya Ganguli.
Christopher Miranda is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor Mark Schnitzer where he is developing optical imaging technologies to probe the behavior of neurons in the mouse brain. With these newly developed tools, he aims to unravel longstanding mysteries of the basal ganglia. Christopher received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University.
Zihao is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Materials Science and Engineering department at Stanford University. His work in Prof. Guosong Hong’s research group focuses on engineering the light interaction with nanomaterials and biological tissues to develop innovative neuroscience technologies. The proposed work in collaboration with Prof.
Sriram Jayabal is currently appointed as a postdoctoral research associate in the department of neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine under the supervision of Prof. Jennifer Raymond. He received his Bachelor of Technology in Biotechnology in India and moved to McGill University in Canada for his graduate study. At McGill, he studied the cerebellar pathophysiology that underlies the manifestation and progression of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 under the supervision of Dr. Alanna Watt.
Shixuan Liu is a postdoctoral fellow jointly advised by Drs. James Ferrell and Mark Krasnow. She is interested in the molecular clock that controls the animal seasonal rhythms, such as hibernation and seasonal reproduction cycles. Similarly as the circadian rhythm, seasonal rhythms can be entrained by environmental signals (e.g., photoperiod) but maintain to cycle even without external cues.
