Tanvi is co-advised by Tom Daniel. She studies the role of touch in plant pollinator interactions. Moths and butterflies use a long straw-like mouthpart, the proboscis to actively explore the flowers and extract tactile information from it. Moreover, proboscis is a flexible structure and its mechanics is actively tuned as the insect is sensing. Using tools of behavioral analysis and neurophysiology, Tanvi wants to understand the sensory processing and biomechanics underlying the fundamental percept of touch.

Kameron is a postdoctoral research associate in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. He is analyzing human brain electrocorticography recordings in the labs of Allen School professor Rajesh Rao and Biology professor Bingni Brunton. His interests are in computational and theoretical neuroscience, in particular networks, dynamical systems, and data analysis. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Washington under Eric Shea-Brown. Prior to that, Kameron studied bus traffic optimization as a Fulbright Scholar in Chile, and his undergraduate and masters work at the University of Vermont included sentiment analysis of large-scale Twitter data, network science, and data assimilation methods.

Chris is a postdoc co-advised with John Tuthill. He tries to better understand how the nervous system controls movement. He is currently studying how populations of motor neurons drive natural leg movements in walking fruit flies. He uses genetic tools and optical imaging to measure neural activity, markerless tracking to measure behavior, and dimensionality reduction techniques to understand the link between the two.

Aditya is a postdoctoral research associate co-advised by Steven Brunton. He earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering under Dr. Kunihiko (Sam) Taira with concentration on Computational Fluid Mechanics. The focus of his PhD research involved developing network-theoretic approaches for analyses and control of fluid flows. His current research interests include data-driven modeling, control theory and computational neuroscience.

Steven is a postdoctoral scholar co-advised by Bing Brunton and Raj Rao currently studying electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings during naturalistic movements. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan, performing high-density electroencephalography (EEG) recordings during perturbed balance beam walking in the lab of Daniel Ferris. His interests are real-world neuroimaging, neural signal processing, and cortical integration of sensory information.

Ali is a postdoc co-advised with Tom Daniel. She is studying how organisms make efficient use of limited information to perform complex tasks. Taking the hawkmoth as a model system, she investigates how information from a small number of mechanoreceptors on the wings are used in flight control. She employs a combination of experimental and computational techniques to study how these sensors respond during flight and how one might optimally array a set of these sensors to best provide feedback during flight.

Katie is a postdoc co-advised with David Perkel. She is an evolutionary biologist primarily interested in how anatomical novelty influences the evolution of animal locomotion. Her doctoral project in the lab of Sharlene Santana at UW focused on a unique skeletal element in the bat hindlimb wing membrane. Currently, she is trying to understand the exceptional lumbosacral spinal cord of birds, which may act as a mechanosensory structure that helps birds balance.
