Dr. Thibaud Taillefumier receivesa NSF CAREER award for his project entitield "Nontrivial correlations in the neural code: a question of synchrony". This award will support Dr. Taillefumier’s research to understand how synaptic synchrony can stably emerge in neural networks that are plagued with biological noise. In addition, the awards will support Dr. Taillefumier’s effort to design an original undergraduate flipped course mixing mathematics and neuroscience audiences and kickstart a service offering for affiliates who want to acquire theoretical support in their research project
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. The CAREER award includes a federal grant for research and education activities for five consecutive years.
