Sam Zheng

Sam Zheng is a guest researcher at the Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN) and is currently obtaining his Ph.D. at New York University (NYU), co-advised by Alex Williams and Gyorgy Buzsaki (NYU Langone). Before that, he earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics (minor in philosophy) at the University of Chicago. Sam works closely with experimentalists to develop statistical tools to answer neuroscientific questions, with a particular interest in wrestling with the multi-scale and flexible nature of the hippocampal neural code.
