Principal Investigator

After receiving Ph.D. in Physics from Weizmann Institute of Science, I switched to Neurobiology. My adventure in olfactory processing started with discovering dramatic differences between olfactory bulb dynamics in awake and anesthetized mice (Rinberg-2006). The work of my lab in Janelia Farm (2006-2012) led to establishing temporal limits of behavior and neural processing in the sense of smell. I joined NYU Medical School in 2012.

I study how expectation and experience alter sensory representations. In colloboartion with Froemke lab, I use 2-photon imaging, optogentics and behavioral experiments to explore how neuromodulatory systems support changes in sensory perception in both the auditory and olfactory systems.

I received my B.A. in Psychology from NYU in 2008 before working as a research technician in the labs of Dr. George Alvarez at Harvard University and Dr. Ann Graybiel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I am interested in the encoding of sensory stimuli into neural activity and how experience shapes those representations. Co-advised by Cristina Savin, I combine optogenetics, ephys recordings and machine learning methods to explore how synthetic odors are represented in the cortex, what are the behaviorally relevant features of such code, and what is the effect of learning in this neural network.
I received a B.S. in Biochemistry and a M.S. in Physics from Autonomous University of Madrid, and a MS in Bioinformatics from NYU. Prior to my Ph.D., I tackled the brain from molecular, physiological and computational perspectives in the labs of Dr. Cubelos at the Severo Ochoa Center for Molecular Biology, Dr. Liu at the Genome Institute of Singapore, Dr. Menendez de la Prida at the Cajal Institute and Dr. Klann at the Center for Neural Science, NYU.

Master's student

I graduated from the University of Münster 2014 with a B. Sc. in Biosciences, working in Drosophila Neurogenetics in the lab of Christian Klämbt for my thesis. After interning at Janelia Research Campus during my first Master's year in Molecular Biomedicine in Münster, I decided to switch the organism and joined the lab of Dmitry Rinberg in April 2016 for my Master's thesis. Currently, I am studying glomerular activity in the olfactory blub and carrying out its maniulation using patterned optogenetics.Rotation student
