Postdoctoral Fellows

Dr. Voitov investigates the role of parallel excitatory and inhibitory feedback circuits within hippocampus CA3, and the mechanisms by which single cells can control their functional embedding within network computations

Ivan Voitov

PH.D.

Dr. Spivak explores the neural interplay between the cerebellum and the hippocampus in the context of spatial navigation. Co-advised by Professor Nathaniel Sawtell.

Lidor Spivak

PH.D.

Doctoral Students

Bovey is interested in the catecholamine inputs to the hippocampus and possible perturbations in a genetic mouse model of schizophrenia. Co-advised by Professor Joseph Gogos.

Bovey Rao

Abhi is investigating how CA1 microcircuit organization dictates the computational abilities and behavioral outputs of the hippocampus. Co-advised by Professor Stefano Fusi.

Abhishek Shah

Tibby studies the molecular mechanisms that enable new neurons to integrate into the hippocampus. Co-advised by Professor Stavros Lomvardas.

Tiberiu Mihaila

Carl is interested in studying the plasticity rules of CA1 pyramidal cells through multiple-level analyses.

Carl Shi

Margaret studies gene expression and in vivo patterns of neural activity in the hippocampus by combining two-photon microscopy and spatial transcriptomics to analyze neurons post-hoc based on their transcriptomic profiles. Co-advised by Professor Erdem Varol.
