Jeff Orchard, Associate Professor in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, sat down with Researcher on Call to discuss his research on theoretical and computational neuroscience in an episode of Science Scoop.
Orchard's research aims to uncover mechanisms that underlie the computational and organizational aspects of the brain. For example, how oscillations are used, and how different brain regions coordinate to perform computations.
For the second year in a row, a student team from the School of Accounting and Finance, including Anqi Wang (CFM '13), took top prize at the CFA Research Challenge. The team will advance to the Americas Regional Competition held in Toronto in March.
Congratulations, Anqi!
