Hello! My name is Catrina Hacker and I am a PhD student in the Neuroscience Graduate Group at the University of Pennsylvania. My research interests lie at the intersection of computational, cognitive, and systems neuroscience with broad interests in population coding, neural networks, and learning and memory.

I am doing my thesis work in Dr. Nicole Rust's Visual Memory Lab where I'm studying how dynamic brain processes support our ability to remember what we see.

I am passionate about science communication and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for neuroscience through writing. Check out the writing page to read some of my recent pieces.
