Career Mentor's Bio: Damon Clark is an Assistant Professor in MCDB. He is just starting a new lab there. Dr. Clark's lab is interested in understanding how networks of neurons work together to perform computations. He did his undergraduate degree in physics and analyzed mammalian brain architecture. He spent the year before graduate school as a Princeton-in-Africa Fellow for the International Rescue Committee, working on grants, needs assessments, and map-making in Somaliland. As a graduate student in physics, he worked on quantitative approaches to measuring C. elegans behavior and neural activity. He briefly got back to California to study the visual motion processing in Drosophila.
