Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJasper Phelps is a neuroengineering postdoctoral fellow at EPFL with eight years of experience reverse-engineering how small nervous systems compute to drive complex, natural behaviors. With a PhD in Neuroscience from Harvard, he combines high-throughput imaging, electron microscopy, and custom microscopy development to map motor circuits and decode the neural code underlying Drosophila’s six-legged locomotion. He has bridged computational and experimental approaches since undergraduate work in applied math and bioinformatics, building computer vision tools and molecular-dynamics analyses that inform his systems-level investigations. Ambitious to lead an academic lab, Jasper pairs rigorous circuit mapping with engineering-oriented tool development to translate biological algorithms into robotic and computational implementations.
