Marcus A. Triplett
I'm a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University working with Liam Paninski on computational methods for (1) control and mapping of neural circuits using multiphoton holographic optogenetics, and (2) analysis and optical imaging of neural population activity. Previously, I completed my PhD in Computational Neuroscience with Geoff Goodhill at the University of Queensland, Australia. Before that, I obtained a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, where my primary research interest was in logic.
