Benjamin de Bivort, PhD
Harvard University
Ben de Bivort is a Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and member of the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University. His research interests include 1) the mechanistic basis of behavioral variation in stochastic differences in neural circuits and 2) the application of computational ethology to interesting questions in insect evolution and ecology.
Anna Levina, PhD
Tübingen University
Anna Levina is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tübingen, Germany, where she leads the research group Self-organization and Optimality in Neuronal Networks, funded by the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award of the Humboldt Foundation. Her research aims to uncover the computational principles underlying the organization of neuronal networks, using a range of modeling approaches—from relating timescales and distance to criticality with computational function, to investigating how specific network states can emerge through synaptic plasticity.
Thomas R. Clandinin, PhD
Stanford University
Thomas R. Clandinin, Ph.D., is the Shooter Family Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University. Dr. Clandinin’s work combines genetic approaches and neurophysiological measurements with analytical techniques adapted from systems neuroscience to determine how circuits process information.
