For my lab see the Reinagel Lab web site

I am a member of the faculty in the Neurobiology section of the Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD. I am affiliated with the Neuroscience and Biology graduate programs as well as the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind and the Biocircuits Institute at UCSD. My original training was in Biochemistry and Genetics (BS Carnegie Mellon, PhD Harvard). I switched to theoretical and computational neuroscience during my postdoctoral years in the Meister Lab at Harvard University and the the Koch Group at Caltech, and experimental neuroscience in the Reid Lab at Harvard Medical School.

Teaching

Current Courses at UCSD 2011-2012

BILD12 Neurobiology and Behavior (Fall 2011)
An introduction to the neurobiological basis of behavior, intended for non-biology majors.

BGGN201 (~=NEU200D) Introduction to Methods in Computational Neuroscience (Fall 2011)
A broad survey of computational methods used in neuroscience research, intended for incoming Neuroscience graduate students. No advanced math background is presumed in this class, and it is not a CN core course. (The Computational Neuroscience core courses are designed for students with strong quantitative backgrounds, such as math, physics, or engineering degrees. CN Specialization students may, however, take this class as an elective).

Past Courses at UCSD (I will not be teaching again)

BICD100 Genetics
BGGN241 Spike Timing Seminar
BGGN262 Topics in Biological Theory of Perception

Courses Taught Elsewhere

Computational Neuroscience: Vision (2004; 2006; 2008; teaching next 2010)
