Summary
Jason Friedman is an Associate Professor at Tel Aviv University with 13 years of post-PhD experience researching the neural control of movement, specializing in how the brain coordinates grasping. Trained in motor control (Ph.D., M.Sc.) at the Weizmann Institute and with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Monash, he blends quantitative, computational thinking with hands-on experimental neuroscience. His career includes postdoctoral work in leading motor control labs at Penn State and Macquarie, and a decade of academic leadership rising from senior lecturer to associate professor. Jason’s work sits at the intersection of basic science and rehabilitation, informing physical therapy practice through mechanistic studies of hand control. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex motor-control theories into testable experiments and clinical insight.
