Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYifan Wu is a neuroscience PhD candidate at Washington University in St. Louis with 8 years of research experience investigating astrocyte roles in neuromodulation, cognition, and psychiatric disorders. He combines deep wet-lab expertise — from multi-photon imaging and electrophysiology to behavioral assays and molecular biology — with practical computational skills, having developed and published an imaging analysis pipeline in MATLAB and Python to quantify localized calcium activity. His work bridges basic science and translational questions around schizophrenia, and he has a track record of collaborative projects managed with strong time management and planning. Beyond the bench, Yifan contributes to open-source ML tooling, implementing a PyTorch anomaly detection model (DeepLog), demonstrating an appetite for applying machine learning to neuroscience data.
