Aaron Kuan

Aaron Kuan is an Assistant Professor in Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at Yale School of Medicine. His lab focuses on understanding brain circuit structure-function relationships through advanced imaging technologies like X-ray holography and electron microscopy. Key interests include molecular connectomics, long-range cortical projections, and synaptic circuit analysis in decision-making processes.

Education: PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard University. Research highlights include developing scalable imaging techniques and uncovering synaptic wiring motifs in posterior parietal cortex. Awards include the 2024 Kavli Innovative Teams Award for molecular connectomics work with Joerg Bewersdorf.

• Lab Locations: Rooms at 100 College Street and 200 S. Frontage Road, New Haven
• Recruiting postdocs and graduate students in imaging, data science, and neuroscience

Recent work combines synchrotron X-ray nano-holography for brain-wide axon tracing and functional connectomics linking circuit architecture to cognition. Collaborations span engineering, physics, and computational biology.
