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 […]
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 […]
Carolyn Marar
Carolyn Marar is a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering. She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. She was first introduced to neurophotonics during her graduate rotations, after which she joined the Ji-Xin Cheng Lab. She is currently conducting research on neuromodulation using microwaves. She has helped develop a device for […]
Ryan McNaughton
Ryan McNaughton (Zhang lab) Ryan received his BS in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University in 2016, and enrolled the following academic year in BU’s Mechanical Engineering PhD program. Prior to joining the Neurophotonics Center, he spent the better part of his undergraduate research examining methods of impedance sensing on biological tissues and applications of diatoms in dye […]
Athif Mohamed
Athif Mohamed (Han Lab) graduated from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka with a BSc. in Biomedical Engineering. During his undergraduate studies he worked on several computational projects related to biosignal processing, analysis and machine learning, first with ECG and then with EEG. He became interested in neurophotonics after joining Boston University during lab rotations at […]
