Instructors
Andrea Roeser
Andrea began her academic career at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, majoring in Biology and Mathematical Sciences and mastering in Biology. During this time, she conducted research on weakly electric fish and their capacity for multisensory integration.
Andrea then moved to Cornell University where she earned a PhD in Neurobiology and Behavior. Here, Dr. Roeser investigated the neural mechanisms underlying song learning in zebra finches and communication in parrots. Her thesis work on dynamic dopamine tuning in the striatum was notably published on the cover of Nature in the November 2023 issue. In combination with her research efforts, she instructed undergraduate classes in writing and neuroscience.
