Markowitz
Associate Professor, Wallace H. Coulter Dept. of Biomedical Engineering
I graduated from Johns Hopkins University and majored in philosophy. I then turned from philosophy to…motor coding in the songbird and neural engineering! I completed my PhD in Computational Neuroscience with Timothy Gardner at Boston University (now at the University of Oregon). Next, I found myself studying the humble laboratory mouse in the labs of Sandeep Robert Datta and Bernardo Sabatini at Harvard Medical School for my post-doc.
Research Interests
New methods for 3D motion capture in small animals;
New methods for measuring neural activity;
Resolving how the basal ganglia control action and movement;
Closed-loop brain stimulation to both understand and treat the brain.
