ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
NEUROBIOLOGY
Canary Center at Stanford
United States of America
He is a Associate Professor of Neurobiology and Member of Bio-X.He got McKnight Scholar Award, McKnight Endowment Fund (2007-2010).He is a Terman Fellow of Stanford University (2004-2007)and Sloan Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (2007-2009).He focused on how the circuitry of the retina translates the visual scene into electrical impulses in the optic nerve. Visual perception is initiated by the molecules, cells and synapses of the retina, acting together to process and compress visual information into a sequence of spikes in a population of nerve fibers.
general principles of computation in neural circuits, and to explain specific retinal visual processes such as adaptation to contrast and image statistics, and the detection of moving objects.
