portrait of Mai-AnhYou can pronounce my name like you're saying "my aunt" (but not "my ant"), just without the "t".
I am a neuroscientist studying motivated behavior. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Howe Lab at Boston University, where I use optical methods like fiber photometry and two-photon imaging to investigate dynamics of dopaminergic signaling in the striatum.

I got my PhD in Neurobiology at Duke University in the 
Motivated Memory Lab and the Laboratory for Psychiatric Neuroengineering. 
My graduate research combined human fMRI and rodent in-vivo electrophysiology to investigate the neural signals underlying anticipation and its influences on learning and memory. 
In addition to the Department of Neurobiology, I was also a part of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, and Certificate for College Teaching program.
