Will is an undergraduate student majoring in Biopsychology and minoring in chemistry. He has always been interested in how neuroscience can explain human behavior. This led him to get involved with the Szumlinski lab, where he continues to learn more about the biochemical mechanisms of addiction. His current experience with Bionic Vision Lab, as well, has made him think about the translational applications of his research.
Outside of research, Will likes to play tennis and this video game called Overwatch. He also enjoys helping other students with chemistry and volunteering with local elementary schools to educate kids about the brain.
