Zhexin Brian Xu

Hi there! I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, working with Bob Datta. My research focueses on understanding how the brain coordinates movements in response to environmental demands and internal needs.

I completed my PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester with Greg DeAngelis, where I investigated the neural mechanisms of motion and depth perception during self-motion. Before that, I was trained in mechanical engineering and visual psychophysics.

Outside of science, I enjoy bird watching, swimming, photography, and traveling.
