I am a Professor in the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California San Diego, where I hold the J. Robert Beyster Endowed Chair in Engineering. I am also the Founding Director of the Center for Engineered Natural Intelligence and the Associate Director of the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind.
I hold several additional academic affiliations at UCSD, including the Neurosciences Graduate Program, the Computational Neurobiology Program, and the Institute for Neural Computation. I previously served as Vice Chair of the Department of Bioengineering and was Co-Director of the Retinal Engineering Center in the Institute of Engineering in Medicine.
I received an Hon.B.Sc. in human physiology and a B.Sc. in biophysics from the University of Toronto, Canada, followed by an M.Sc. in neuroscience also from the University of Toronto. I then did a Ph.D. in bioengineering and neurophysiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in the Institute for BioNanotechnology and Medicine (IBNAM) and the Department of Neurology at Northwestern University. I joined the faculty at UCSD in 2003.
