We are thrilled to share that Professor Adrienne Fairhall has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Sciences announced today the election of 120 members and 30 international members in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

Professor Fairhall has made foundational contributions to the problem of the neural code — deciphering the set of patterns that the brain uses to compute — and to the questions of how these patterns arise through the nonlinear dynamics of neurons and networks. She was at the core of founding the Computations Neuroscience Center, as well as numerous new national, and international research and training programs at the interface of neuroscience, mathematical physics, and AI.  

Huge congratulations, Dr. Fairhall, on this well-deserved honor!
