Research
My thesis research focuses signal processing in the retina, specifically on mechanisms that maximize signal-to-noise ratio of
visual signals. I use both primate and mouse models to probe a variety circuit level mechanisms that allow the retina to
accurately encode information all the way to the absolute threshold of night vision.
