Christopher Henry, Ph.D.

I am a Computational Neuroscientist and Artificial Intelligence and

Data scientist with 20+ years of experience in computational modeling

and relating large-scale neural data to classification, predictive outcomes,

and behavioral decisions.

​

I have extensive experience in leading scientific teams and projects, experimental design, developing novel data analyses and pipelines,

fitting ML and AI models, scientific communication, grantsmanship,

and teaching and mentoring.

Experience

Research
Interests

2018 - 2023     Albert Einstein College of Medicine         Faculty Associate (New York, NY)

  • Developed project and led team to determine how vision operates in cluttered environments

  • Awarded $3 million in acquired funding from two grants (NIH and Revson Foundation)

  • Fit machine learning and computational models to link neural data to perception

​​

2013 - 2018    Albert Einstein College of Medicine          Postdoctoral Fellow (New York, NY)

  • Awarded 2 year fellowship to study how visual cortex adapts to sensory information (NIH)

  • Collected and analyzed extensive neural (1000s of neurons) and perceptual (millions of trials) data sets across humans and nonhuman primates

  • Mentored 10 postdocs, graduate students, and technicians in experimental and analytical approaches to vision

​​

2005 - 2013    New York University                                   Ph.D. in Neuroscience (New York, NY)

  • Led development, experimentation, and reporting of projects focused on how visual neurons dynamically encode changes in sensory context

  • Designed parallel perceptual experiments in humans to probe visual texture perception

  • These efforts directly supported $2 million in acquired research funding (NIH)
