current projects

Adaptive Optogenetics

We develop adaptive optics for holographic optogenetics.  Digital holography is an efficient method to generate 3D patterns of light to manipulate neurons through optogenetics and photochemical tools.

Multiscale Functional Imaging

Fluorescent sensors for calcium, voltage, and neurotransmitters each provide rich proxies for neural activity.  We develop microscopy and nanoscopy methods to make correlative measurements of neuronal function with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Correlative Structural Imaging

​Our goal is to combine in vivo developmental and functional measurements with correlative light-electron measurements from the same animal to pinpoint when, where, and how synapses form. 

We are hiring an optics post-doc!
