Jamie

Hi! I’m Jamie, a sophomore neuroscience track student planning to dual degree in computer science. I knew I wanted to be involved in research early on in my university career. Through the Biology Undergraduate Apprenticeships (BUA), I joined Normark Lab in my first semester as a research assistant. With my love of genetics and computer science, I began work on an independent bioinformatics research project there that I continued over the summer as part of the CAFE Summer Scholars program.

Now, I am also part of CoDe Neuro, the Cognitive and Developmental Neuroscience Lab. In the lab, I will be working to find the neurological basis for how we begin to process the abstract concept of numbers.

As an OURS Research Mentor, I hope to help students discover research areas they are passionate about and find labs that explore those interests. I understand both the desire to do research and the uncertainty around how to begin that process. Together, I am sure we can get you headed in the right direction!
