Steering Committee

The steering committee is a rotating group of the faculty responsible for directing all eductational aspects of the program. This group includes representatives from each major department or institution participating in the program. Two elected student representatives also serve on the committee.

Core Faculty

Faculty who have advised Computational Neurobiology students previously.

Affiliated Faculty

The faculty listed above, and other potential advisors, are members of the UCSD Neurosciences program; the Salk Institute; the Departments of Neurobiology (Division of Biological Sciences), Neurosciences (School of Medicine), Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cognitive Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemistry, and Mathematics; the Institute for Nonlinear Science; the Institute for Neural Computation; the Scripps Research Institute; the California Institute for Telecommunications & Information Technology (CalIT2); and the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience.

The Computational Neurobiology program is interdisciplinary and cross-departmental. In principle, any faculty member at UCSD can serve as a thesis advisor or co-advisor, subject to approval that the thesis project is sufficiently relevant to computational neuroscience.
