Elizabeth Spencer

I'm currently a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University with Dr. Byron Yu, studying dimensionality reduction techniques for analyzing populations of neural activity.

I did my Ph.D. work at Boston University in the Graduate Program for Neuroscience, specializing in computational neuroscience.

My dissertation was on the development of biomarkers and statistical models to understand brain function and dysfunction. In particular, my research has been on childhood epilepsy and Angelman syndrome. I did this work jointly with Drs. Mark Kramer and Uri Eden at Boston University and with Dr. Catherine Chu at Massachusetts General Hospital.
