Alex Jaworski, PhD is June G. Zimmerman Assistant Professor of Brain Science and Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University. He joined Brown and BIBS in July 2013.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE Program at Brown in the summer of 2015 and summer 2016.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE program at Brown in the summer of 2015.

Alexander Fleischmann, PhD is Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University. He was previously a Principal Investigator at Collège de France, in Paris. Dr. Fleischmann joined Brown and BIBS in January 2018.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE program at Brown during the summer of 2017.

What year did you participate in the BP-ENDURE Program at Brown?
I was there the summer of 2015.

I am an Assistant Professor of Engineering at Brown University, the Brown Institute for Brain Science, and the Providence VA Medical Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology.

I work as an NRC postdoc at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. My home research group here, called the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence, focuses on cognitive science and cognitive robotics.

I lead an AI Software and Research group at Intel.

I majored in biochemistry with a supplemental major in Spanish.

My name is Drew Linsley, and I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow associated with the Brown Institute for Brain Science (BIBS) and the Initiative for Computation in Brain and Mind (CBM).

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on computational models of human learning and decision processes, with a special focus on how people search for and select from available information to build accurate representations of the world.

My academic interests in high school were primarily rooted in the biological sciences. However, I also very much enjoyed studying mathematics, history, English literature, and religion.

The brain is superbly important but remains pretty mysterious. I think it's important to understand how certain mutations or certain ailments can affect the brain and its functions in order to begin proper treatment.

My research interests are specifically in understanding the mechanism and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

I really enjoy spending time outdoors running, camping, and hiking. Or just spending a day on the green enjoying the sun. Anything to get the most out of a good day.

I worked on a project titled "Impact of Physiologic Factors on the Progression of Acute Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage" in the lab of Dr. Wael F. Asaad.

I have always liked biology and life sciences because of how tangible they are from an everyday perspective.

I am very curious about how brain becomes mind, and the role our physical bodies play in determining our mental states.

I am working at the Reenan Lab trying to understand the effects of traumatic brain injury on RNA editing using the model organism Drosophila.

I got interested in brain science after reading Oliver Sack's "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." It got me to start wondering about the mechanisms behind perception and cognition.

I was really serious about math in high school and did not realize how much I liked biology and its integration with math until coming to Brown.

I came to Brown because I wanted to study neuroscience, and even back in the 1980's Brown had one of biggest and best neuroscience programs in the country, where undergraduates could perform research.

I am Professor of Biology and Neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University. Research in my lab is focused on understanding how experience assembles and alters the properties of neural circuits in the cerebral cortex, in both normal and disease states.

I am a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience Program at the University of Washington in Seattle.

I am a Professor of Neuroscience at the Mortimer Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, the Kavli Institute and the Department of Neuroscience, Columbia University, and I am an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

I am the Global Head of Neuroscience at Novartis and a former Professor of Neurobiology at Stanford University.

I lead Research and Development for an emerging biotech company that is focused on creating novel medicines for people with a variety of brain disorders, such as Autism, Schizophrenia and Depression.

I am the Executive Director for the Neuroscience Institute at NYU Langone Health, which means I oversee all the behind-the-scenes work (strategic, administrative, financial, programmatic, etc.) that supports the research and education goals of our institute and its faculty, trainees, and staff.

I am Associate Professor of Psychology and Core Member of the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo in Canada.

Starting from freshman year of high school I began thinking about the mind, brain, and about thinking. My interests stemmed from philosophical conversations with friends, which led me to think a lot about concepts like happiness and life satisfaction.

Elisabeth Evans, who has an undergraduate degree in architecture from MIT, is working in the laboratory of Diane Hoffman-Kim in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology, & Biotechnology.

Alexander Conicella is a PhD candidate in the Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry Graduate Program.

Aaron Held has an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a Masters in Biotechnology from Boston University.

David Brandman is working in the laboratory of Leigh Hochberg in the School of Engineering.
