Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students are a vital part of our laboratory.   For a complete list of undergraduates who have worked in the lab and a description of the work they did, click here.   To see whether research positions are currently available in the lab, please visit the Undergraduate Research Page, located here.

Particularly noteworthy projects include:  

Myron Kim (CS), Neel Naik (HPME), and Robert Jaeger (highschool student)  contributed to a paper currently in review at the Annals of Biomedical Engineering

Julian Klosowiak (HPME) won a Ford summer fellowship and a Ford undergraduate research award for his work with Venkatesh Gopal on constructing a schlieren imaging setup to visualize rat olfactory search behavior.   Julian is now on a Fullbright fellowship in France.

Jean-Michel Mongeau (BME) won a Ford undergraduate research award and completed an undergraduate honors thesis on constructing robotic whiskers. Jean-Michel is currently a graduate student in neuroscience at Berkeley.

Joy Checa-Chong (French and Psychology) and Ankur Bakshi (BME) are our expert histologists
