Congratulations to Adrienne Fairhall, Professor of Neurobiology and Biophysics, Adjunct Professor of Applied Mathematics, and Adjunct Professor of Physics, who has just been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
Prof. Fairhall has made foundational contributions to the problem of the neural code — deciphering the set of patterns that the brain uses to compute — and to the questions of how these patterns arise through the nonlinear dynamics of neurons and networks. She was at the core of founding the CNC, as well as numerous new national, and international research and training programs at the interface of neuroscience, mathematical physics, and AI. The CNC community congratulates and celebrates this brilliant scholar with deep pride!
