Josh Merel was an undergraduate in the Biological Basis of Behavior program. His senior thesis involved two directions of research: (1) the statistics of shapes in natural scenes and the representation of shapes in Inferotemporal Cortex, and (2) possible algorithms for goal-directed navigation based on the representation of location by hippocampal place cells. He is presently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at Columbia. |

was a postdoc in the lab who finished his PhD in Physics at Princeton University in 2007. He is studying how biological networks process information and has applied information theory to understand aspects of retinal processing, early morphogenesis in the fruit fly embryo, and signal transduction in cellular networks. His other research interests include the statistics of natural scenes, collective behaviors in biology, the dynamics of evolutionary adaptation and, recently, questions about the evolution of natural languages. He is currently a professor and group leader at the Institute for Science and Technology, Austria. |

|
worked on mechanics of DNA, including DNA looping. He is currently a professor at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Penn. |
|
worked on the DNA looping, including the first principles calculation of looping probability. |
|
worked on transport in the cytoplasm. He is currently at CNRS in Strasbourg, after his postdoctoral work in the lab of L Mahadevan (Harvard). |
|
