Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmerson Harkin is a Ph.D. neuroscientist and computational researcher from Ottawa with nine years of experience bridging electrophysiology, biophysics, and data-driven modeling. He develops simple, interpretable single-neuron models and Python toolchains to link top-down theories of serotonin function with bottom-up physiological constraints. His work includes leading interdisciplinary teams, performing whole-cell patch-clamp experiments, and translating experimental data into reproducible analysis code and models used by physiologists. Emerson has a track record of award-winning graduate research and conference presentations, and a practical habit of shipping analysis tools (including an R toolbox early in his career) that others can actually use. He’s driven by an unusual goal—to reduce serotonin’s role in the brain to a single compelling sentence—combining rigorous experiment with computational clarity.
