Matt Wachowiak , Ph.D., Nanoscale & Biomedical Photonic Imaging

Dr. Wachowiak graduated from Duke University then received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in Neuroscience. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University School of Medicine in the department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. His research uses the olfactory system as a model for understanding the neural basis of sensation during behavior. He uses a combination of optical imaging, eletorphysiology, behavior, and computational analyses to investigate how sensory information is encoded and processed, and how the active components of sensory systems shape neural coding and processing in the awake animal. A goal of this work is to identify principles that could lead to improved prosthetic devices and artificial sensors.
