Qi Wang is currently directs the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Laboratory for Neural Engineering and Control at Columbia's Biomedical Engineering Department. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University in 2006 and served as a research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology's Department of Biomedical Engineering between 2008 and 2012. Prof. Wang's research interests comprise the use of experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate how the brain encodes information about the world and the use of patterned microstimulation to determine how downstream neuron population activity is shaped.
