Understanding why we sleep remains one of the most enduring mysteries in science. A core feature of sleep is its homeostatic regulation, i.e., waking experience drives subsequent sleep. Here we are investigating the molecular basis of the sleep homeostat: 1) how does the homeostat sense waking signals? 2) How does the homeostat trigger sleep? 3) ...

Oshin Tyagi

Dr. Oshin Tyagi has an MS and PhD from Texas A&M University in Industrial engineering. Her core research interests are in understanding, assessing, and supporting human physical capabilities in critical contexts (e.g., states of fatigue/stress and in high-risk environments), using emerging techniques in Neuroergonomics and occupational biomechanics. Her research work primarily focuses on uncovering sex-specific ...

We are conducting a project to deploy Natural Language Processing to analyze clinicians' progress notes from Electronic Health Records and identify healthcare-related features that determine Failure To Rescue (Death after a major complication) among cardiac surgery patients. Another project that I would like to highlight is the project where we assessed the relationship between intraoperative ...

Xiaosu (Frank) Hu

I'm excited about using machine learning and AI to better understand how the human brain works—and vice versa. I love exploring how we can use deep learning to decode brain signals and uncover patterns in things like pain or language processing. At the same time, I’m fascinated by how comparing brain activity with AI models ...

Jess Francis-levin

I am a gerontechnologist and mixed-methodologist. My work examines how emerging technology use, such as virtual reality, may impact the overall health and well-being of the older adult community. With an emphasis on social connectivity, I develop technological interventions designed to promote independence and mitigate the negative consequences of social isolation. A primary consideration in ...

Brendon Watson

I am a neuroscientist and psychiatrist with the goal of understanding brain mechanisms related to both neuropsychiatric disease and to healthy brain function. My approach use advanced neuroscientific tools that give insight into neural circuit function in relation behavior. I trained under Drs. Rafael Yuste and Gyorgy Buzsaki and have expertise in cortical and hippocampal ...

William Axinn

Dr. Axinn is a Professor of survey research, population studies, sociology, and public policy at the University of Michigan. Axinn is a social demographer studying community, intergenerational, and social psychological influences on marriage, childbearing, reproductive health, mental health, and the natural environment. He is the former director of Michigan’s Survey Research Center, which has an ...

Patricia Alves-Oliveira

I lead Robot Studio, a Research lab in the Robotics Department of the University of Michigan. Our work is focused on democratizing health and arts with social robots. We develop human-centered robot systems that enhance the quality of life and that promotes creativity. Our lab is interdisciplinary, composed of researchers from computer science, engineering, information ...

Steven Wilson

I study human communication using Natural Language Processing methods with a focus on understanding and incorporating the social context of text data and the people that create it. I am broadly interested in how people sift through and add to the vast body of online content, how they tell stories and make sense of the ...
