People
Jude Mitchell, Lab Director | | CV
Jude is an associate professor in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) department at the University of Rochester. He received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Harvard University, received a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from UCSD (mentored by David Zipser), and was a postdoc at the Salk Institute with John Reynolds. His research uses systems neuroscience and computational approaches towards understanding visual perception, attention, and eye movements.
Amy Bucklaew, Graduate Student |
Amy is a graduate student in the Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP) through the School of Medicine and Dentistry. She graduated from Canisius College with B.S.s in both Biology and Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation (ABEC), with a minor in Neuroscience. During her time in undergrad, she conducted research investigating facial recognition and processing in Western lowland gorillas. At Rochester, she hopes to further explore her interest in visual sensory processing and neuroplasticity by joining the Mitchell Lab.
Dina Graf, Lab Tech |
Dina is our lab manager. She has a BA in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Rochester and is a certified veterinary technician. She has over 20+ years experience working with primates in a laboratory setting. Her interests outside of work include baking and hiking the Adirondacks.
Luke Shaw, Postdoctoral Associate |
Luke is a postdoctoral neuroscience researcher co-mentored by Dr. Kuan Wang at the University of Rochester School of Medicine Dentistry. His current research interests lie in visually guided reaching control, prediction, and error signaling in the brain. His PhD research focused on marmoset monkeys hunting crickets, machine learning approaches to tracking naturalistic behavior, and neural projection specific optogenetic manipulations.
