He is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology in the RWJ Medical School. His lab uses computational modeling, electrophysiology, and optogenetics to investigate the cellular and circuit mechanisms of rapid memory formation in the hippocampus and cortex of mice. His lab is particularly interested in how changes in the organization and wiring of the brain, as occurs in neurodevelopmental disorders, alter synaptic learning rules and cause deficits in learning and memory.
