Jean-Marc Tsang Min Ching
Jean-Marc Tsang Min Ching (Mertz lab) received his Bachelor of Science in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering from Boston University in 2015. His exposure to neuroscience stemmed from his work as an undergraduate researcher in Xue Han’s lab and with time, he became more interested in instrumentation and photonics. For his graduate studies, he joined the Biomicroscopy Lab where, under the supervision […]
Nicholas Vickers
Nicholas Vickers (Andersson Lab) studied Material Science and Engineering at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, where his passion for applied optics started and grew. His B.S+M.S. dissertation was on integrating polymeric optical waveguides onto microfluidic platforms for multi-site on chip chemical analysis and photo-catalyzation. After concluding his studies he went on to work […]
Brandon Williams
Brandon Williams (White Lab) graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. His interest in neurophotonics began through his undergraduate research with electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs). He became further involved in neurophotonics after learning about the ability to control neurons using optogenetics. In Dr. John White’s lab, […]
Kelly Wingfield
Kelly Wingfield (Cruz-Martín Lab) completed her BS in Biology at the University at Albany, SUNY in 2018. While rotating in Dr. Alberto Cruz-Martín’s lab, she quickly became interested in using optical technology to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the pathobiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. As a Pharmacology PhD student, she intends to […]
Gregory Wirak
Gregory Wirak (Gabel lab) received his B.S. in Physiology & Neurobiology and Molecular & Cellular Biology with honors from the University of Connecticut. Following three years engaged in postgraduate research surrounding neurodegeneration at Yale University, he subsequently joined BU’s Graduate Program for Neuroscience in 2016. Employing neurophotonic techniques such as calcium imaging, optogenetics, and femtosecond laser microsurgery, his current research […]
Shutao Xu
Shutao Xu (Sander Lab) is a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He became interested in neurophotonics since he joined BU and learned about his labmate’s previous work on neurostimulation. Previously, he received his B.E. in optoelectronics engineering from Nanjing University of Science and Technology. Currently, he is working with Prof. Michelle Sander […]
Jiarui Yang
Jiarui Yang (Boas Lab) is a PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Boston University. He received his BS in Control Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University in June 2016. During his undergrad he worked with Dr. Chunyue Song and Dr. Quanzheng Li at Massachusetts General Hospital on evaluating the effectiveness of partial volume correction […]
