WIBR Seminar
'Neural coding underlying tactile navigation'
Dr Nicholas Sofroniew
(Janelia Research Campus, USA)
Host: Prof William D. Richardson
Nicholas Sofroniew is currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the lab of Karel Svoboda at the Janelia Research Campus, Ashburn USA. He obtained his Bachelors Degree (2005-2008) and Masters Degree (2009) in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, UK, where he specialized in Analysis and Combinatorics. He then completed his PhD in Neuroscience as part of a joint graduate program between the University of Cambridge and the Janelia Research Campus (2009-2013). He spent the first year of this program doing molecular neuroscience research using C. elegans in the lab of Howard Baylis at Cambridge, before moving to Janelia to do systems neuroscience research in the lab of Karel Svoboda.
His current work is directed at probing cortical processing across multiple areas during complex navigation behavior.
