Adam Charles

Assistant professor of biomedical engineering
Johns Hopkins University

Adam Charles is assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University (with affiliations in the Center for Imaging Science, the Mathematical Institute for Data Science and the Kavli Neuroscience Institute, among others). His lab focuses on developing computational models and methods to understand large-scale brain data collected at micron-level resolution. He works on new microscopy techniques, including computational imaging methods, and compositional dynamical systems that can analyze multi-area neuronal-level recordings in an interpretable way.

Charles earned his B.E and E.C.E. at Cooper Union, followed by a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the lab of Christopher Rozell. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Jonathan Pillow’s group at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.
