Dr. Jae-eun Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, specializing in Systems Neuroscience. She received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Washington University in St. Louis, where she researched the sleep-wake cycle and its regulation of amyloid-beta levels in humans and mice. Following her doctoral studies, Dr. Miller conducted postdoctoral research in the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University under Dr. Rafael Yuste, focusing on intrinsic neuronal ensembles in visual perception through advanced optical imaging and neuronal manipulation technologies. Her laboratory aims to understand the neurodegenerative disorders at the circuit level, particularly looking at Alzheimer's disease and its effects on learning and memory. Dr. Miller's work utilizes innovative optical tools, two-photon calcium imaging, and holographic optogenetics to explore brain activity related to these critical behaviors in mouse models. She also investigates the neural mechanisms of perceptual learning, exploring how visual cortex network modifications enhance sensory task performance.
