Alumnus Caleb Sponheim shares his experience as a CNS graduate student

"My training at the University of Chicago prepared me to conduct world-class scientific research through technical skills, collaboration opportunities, and deep intellectual stimulation. 

During my time in the Hatsopoulos Lab at the University of Chicago, I felt supported to pursue a high level of academic and scientific rigor while cultivating strong connections that would serve me in a future academic career. 

The sum of my experiences in the computational neuroscience program has permanently impacted my personal life and professional career; in fact, I use my skills in communication, research, project management, and quantitative analysis every day in my current job."

Dr. Sponheim was a CNS graduate student in the Hatsopoulos lab and graduated in 2023. He is currently a User Experience Specialist at Nielsen Norman Group.
