FRANCESCA PRESCOTT, UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER

I’m a sophomore majoring in Computer Science and Biology on the Neuroscience track. I am highly interested in neural networks and the parallels between AI and the brain. I am also fascinated by the cognitive effects of neurodegenerative disease. In lab, I am using computational methods to examine how sleep affects neural dynamics of brains affected by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

In my free time, I like to travel, read, ski, hike, and do anything else adventurous.
