Caitlin Lienkaemper

Postdoc · Swartz Fellow

I am a Swartz postdoctoral fellow for theory in neuroscience, and am interested in geometry, topology, and dynamics in neural codes and neural networks.

I did my PhD with Carina Curto at Penn State, studying geometric constants on neural coding and dynamics of threshold linear networks, then did a postdoc at Boston University working with Gabe Ocker, working on a few projects, including how learning does (and doesn’t!) change dynamics in the hippocampus, and how stimulus statistics shape optimal coding in the olfactory system.

Outside of work, I love photography, painting, and climbing.
