Harris Lab
Lab Members
Tim Harris, PhD
Principle Investigator, Research Professor
Tim Harris received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1978. He spent the following 18 years at Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ. While at Bell, his work included high-sensitivity fluorescence and Raman scattering instrumentation, the characterization of quantum dots in collaboration with Lou Brus, the tapered fiber probe for Near-Field Microscopy, a collaboration with Eric Betzig, and many follow on applications of near field including the first reports of single molecule images and single quantum dot imaging and spectroscopy.
Alexandra Cheng
PhD Student, BME
Alexandra is developing 3d printed fixtures to implant many chronic Neuropixels probes, as well as enabling wireless Neuropixels recording
Sai Koukuntla
PhD Student, BME
Sai is working on interpretable nonlinear models of brain-wide dynamics. He has also developed methods for automatic spike sorting error correction, and to analyze multi-region neural recordings. He is co-advised by Adam Charles and Carlos Brody
Tate DeWeese
PhD Student, XDBio
Tate studies how exposure to psychedelics manifests as altered neural activity and social behavior, using multiple chronic Neuropixels probes throughout the brain.
