Short Biography
Can is a graduate student in the Neurosciences Graduate Program at UC San Diego. He received his B.S in biology and psychology from Ramapo College of New Jersey, where he worked on attentional Event Related Potentials, and psychology of aesthetics. He then worked as a clinical research coordinator in Dr. Paul Croarkin's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research group at Mayo Clinic, focusing on clinical trials of adolescent TMS and electrophysiological biomarker discovery using EEG and TMS-EEG.
Can's research at Opti Lab focuses on the development and application of simultaneous multimodal biophysiological and behavioral recordings (concurrent facial expressions, EEG and ECG of multiple people) by combining AI, computer vision and signal analysis techniques. His aims to use these tools to study how multimodal data and synchrony between two people can be used to enhance treatment outcomes in clinical settings and improve human performance in a wide variety of settings from performing surgery to music. In his free time Can likes to go sailing, and play the saxophone and synthesizer.
