Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi, I'm Alec.

I'm studying neuroscience, biological physics, and biochemistry at Brandeis. In 2018 I will graduate with my BS and MS degrees.

I've published work in theoretical neuroscience, and right now am working on building computational models to graph small circuit neuron behavior.

I love goats, hiking, and pestering people wiser than me with highly-specific questions.
