Research to discover solutions that will drive humanity forward
Hi, I am Ethan - a Ph.D. neuroscience student at WashU, interested in computational neuroscience. Specifically, I want to investigate the contributions astrocytes have in neural circuits and model them to create more optimized ANNs. I am concurrently completing my M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University, where my focus is on deep/machine learning, probability, and optimization. Previously, I completed my dual degree from the University of Rochester, earning a B.S. in Neuroscience and a B.A. in Mathematics. During my four years in undergrad, I worked in Dr. Maiken Nedergaard's lab in the Center for Translational Neuromedicine, investigating the role of aquaporin-4 and the glymphatic system. Some of my hobbies include archery, skiing, reading, and playing the piano! I enjoy meeting new people, so feel free to reach out!
