Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Ashburn, Virginia, USAHe is a group leader at HHMI Janelia Research Campus and a member of the NSF AI Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI). His research lies at the intersection of AI and science, with a particular focus on neuroscience, biomechanics, optics, and protein engineering. He and his team model the brain and the body to understand neural computation. They combine differentiable simulations of optical systems to develop a new kind of programmable microscope and engineer new protein sensors using machine learning and mechanistic models of protein function.
