Susie is a third-year PhD student at Mount Sinai, interested in the mechanism of neurological diseases and how they affect the learning and memory process. Susie uses in-vivo neural recording and manipulation techniques to examine how circuits control behavior and how abnormal circuit processing can lead to neurological diseases like epilepsy. Her graduate study is focusing on interneuron desynchronization in the epilepsy model. In her free time, Susie likes painting and kickboxing.
