He is also affiliate faculty at UBC in the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, the School for Biomedical Engineering, and Department of Mathematics, and holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics. His research combines experimental neuroscience with Big Data computation to understand the cell-type-specific organization and operation of the brain, and has made important insights into how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved in the brain.
