Liam Paninski's contact / bio info

I am currently an associate professor in Statistics at Columbia University. I am also affiliated with the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience and Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior here. The best way to contact me is by writing to me at my first name at stat dot columbia dot edu. I'm in office 1028, 1255 Amsterdam Avenue, NY.

Previously, I was a senior research fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, at University College London.

Before that, I spent four years as a grad student and postdoc at the Center for Neural Science, at NYU. For much of that time I was in Eero Simoncelli's lab; I also did some work with Mike Hawken and Alex Reyes.

And before that, I was an undergraduate at Brown University, where I was introduced to neuroscience research in John Donoghue's lab. I was greatly influenced during this time by my mentor in John's lab, Nicho Hatsopoulos, and also by Stu Geman, Elie Bienenstock, and David Mumford, all of whom were participating around that time in the Brown neural population coding seminar, which introduced me to the power of statistical thinking at a young age.
