Ike Joins the lab!
November 07, 2024
Ike decided to join the lab! He is the first MSTP student to join the team, and will bring a computational/machine learning perspective to our ongoing projects on image analysis and sequencing-based connectomics to better understand brain function. We look forward to seeing what he will accomplish!
