Salk Fellow and Principal Investigator

Salk Institute for Biological Studies

Hi, I’m Talmo. I run a lab as a Salk Fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where we use computer vision and deep learning to study animal behavior, neuroscience, and plants!

My work has been featured in Quanta Magazine, Nature Lab Animal, Nature Toolbox, The Scientist, Princeton Insights, and more.

I received my PhD in Neuroscience at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, co-advised by Mala Murthy and Joshua Shaevitz.

Check out my lab website for updated information on our work.
