Scott Knudstrup
Scott Knudstrup (Gavornik lab) received his BFA in Music in 2008 from the California Institute of the Arts and later earned a BS in Mathematical Biology in 2015 from the University of Michigan. He became involved in neurophotonics after joining the Gavornik lab in 2017 as a PhD student in the Graduate Program for Neuroscience (GPN) where he […]
Lisa Kretsge
Lisa Kretsge (Cruz-Martin lab) graduated from Vassar College with a B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior in 2014. She became involved in neurophotonics when she performed optogenetic experiments as a research technician in Dr. Joshua Gordon’s lab at Columbia University. Her current work in Dr. Alberto Cruz-Martin’s lab explores how prenatal exposure to opioids and early life withdrawal […]
Erin Landry
Erin Landry (Economo Lab) received her BS in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University in 2018. She became involved with neurophotonics during her rotation in John White’s lab, during which she watched her mentor perform in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in the hippocampus before starting her training in whole-cell electrophysiology in acute hippocampal slices. Erin went on […]
David Lee
David Lee (Chen lab) graduated from NC State with a BS in Biomedical Engineering in 2014. He became involved in neurophotonics during his first year as a grad student at BU through my rotations. He learned how to patch clamp neurons in John White’s lab and then was introduced to two-photon calcium imaging in Jerry […]
Soyoung Lee
Soyoung Lee (Kumar Lab) graduated from Yonsei University in Seoul, where she earned her B.S and M.S in physical education & sports rehabilitation. Her background in Kinesiology led her to explore joint and gait biomechanics in people with knee osteoarthritis in BU, working under the mentorship of Dr. Deepak Kumar in the Movement Applied Imaging […]
Joshua Levitt
Joshua Levitt (Lewis Lab) got his BS in biology from Bates College in 2013, and his MS in biomedical engineering at Brown University in 2017. He is currently a second year PhD candidate in biomedical engineering. His research in the Lewis Lab focuses on real-time processing of neurological data, especially EEG, fMRI, and fNIRS, and plans […]
Samuel Levy
Samuel Levy (Eichenbaum lab) graduated with honors from Cornell University in 2013 with a BA in Psychology. He became involved with neurophotonics through lab work; he recently completed an experiment imaging hippocampal activity in freely moving mice with a head-mounted micro-endoscope while the subjects performed the same behavior over several weeks. He hopes the results will expand the […]
Bingxue Liu
Bingxue Liu (BOAS Lab) received her BS in instrumentation and engineering from Beihang University (Beijing, China) in 2019 and she is currently a PhD student in Boston University. She became involved in Neurophotonics since she joined Dr. David Boas’ lab, where she is exploiting photoacoustic tomography and ultrasound localized microscopy techniques to study the oxygen […]
