My name is Andrew Leifer and I graduated from
Stanford University with degrees in Physics, Political Science and honors in International Security Studies. I recently defended my doctoral thesis in Biophysics at
Harvard University. I conduct behavioral neuorscience research in the
Samuel Lab where I develop new optogenetic techniques to probe the neurocircuitry of the brain. Most everyone calls me Andy. Feel free to contact me at:
