    Melanie Tschiersch

    Melanie Tschiersch

    PhD Student

    Co-supervised with Albert Compte
    Melanie is an engineer and she will graduate soon. She has been working on data-analysis and modeling of working memory, in particular how the two prefrontal cortices interact with each other during working memory tasks. Monkey data comes from Matthew Smith lab.
