We’re super excited to have Daniel Woods join as the lab’s second PhD student! Daniel is a native Tennessean and received both a BS and Masters in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He will be co-advised by Christos Constantinidis and help establish our first major collaboration as we expand our technologies from rodents to non-human primates.

Prof. Jacob Robinson (Daniel’s PhD advisor) visited for a seminar at the Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering. The whole team enjoyed a chance to tour our new lab space and meet their academic grandpa.

We’re so excited to welcome Camila Romero to the lab as our first research technician! Camila earned her BS in Neuroscience from West Virginia University. She has an extensive neuroscience skillset that will hugely benefit multiple projects, but will also aid in the lab’s microfabrication efforts. Welcome Camila!

Jenna and Runda join as the lab’s first undergraduate researchers. They are bringing their backgrounds in cognitive neuroscience and computer science to understand the role of predictive coding during neuroprosthetic tasks.

Hello World! We’re up and running. Lab space is due to officially open Summer 2024.

We’re so excited to have Grace join as the lab’s first PhD student! Grace is in the BME PhD program and comes to us from Bucknell University with a strong background in engineering and long-term interest in neural interfaces.
