My research focuses on the development of the visual system. We use the relatively simple and experimentally tractable visual system of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. By understanding the role that sensory experience plays in the development of this system we will begin to understand the guiding principles by which the brain wires itself up during development.

My intrest in neuroscience began as an undergraduate here at Brown, where I worked in visual cortical synaptic plasticity in the laboratory of Mark Bear. As a PhD student in Johns Hopkins with David Linden, I studied plasticity of inhibitory inputs and of intrinsic excitability of deep-cerebellar nuclear neurons. My postdoctoral work was done in the lab of Holly Cline, where I combined my intrest in the visual system with my intrest in the regulation of neural excitability, work which continues in my current lab. I have been at Brown since summer 2004.
