about
I am a graduate student in the Center for Neural Science
at NYU. I am currently interested in the computational
properties of single neurons, including: methods of communicating information, and methods of processing information. I am doing my first rotation in the Reyes lab.
Before coming to NYU, I completed my undergraduate degree at Brandeis University. I graduated with a degree in computer science (BA) and a degree in neuroscience (BS).
As both an undergraduate, and one year after, I worked in the The Computational Memory Lab. Some of the many things I ended up being involved with included: building a beowulf cluster, working on a paper comparing four computational models of memory, and writing code to run experiments.
current work
- Implementation of a single compartmental conductance based model of a fast-spiking neuron (Erisir, et al. 1999). Written in matlab and c++. Here are a couple example traces (coming soon..).
- Implemention of a two compartmental conductance based model model of a regular-spiking neuron (XJ Wang, 1998) (c++ code coming soon..)
