Assistant Professor
Eva Aimable Naumann is an Assistant Professor at Duke University with joint appointments in Neurobiology, Psychology and Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Cell Biology. She is affiliated with the Duke Regeneration Center and the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences . Education : Ph.D. from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2010), MSc from University of Konstanz in Biology, and postdoctoral training at University College London and Harvard University Center for Brain Sciences. Dr. Naumann's research focuses on neural circuit dynamics , particularly how whole-brain circuits guide behavior in translucent zebrafish . Her lab combines whole-brain imaging , behavioral analysis , and functional perturbations to create brain-scale circuit models of individual behaviors. Key themes include visuomotor transformations, neural connectivity, and comparative behavioral neuroscience. Recent publications emphasize gigapixel microscopy , comparative neural circuits across teleost species, and gut-brain axis dynamics . Her lab also develops improv , an open-source platform for adaptive neuroscience experiments. Scientific Awards : Sloan Research Fellowship (2020) . Dr. Naumann's grants focus on neural mechanisms of behavior, brain-scale imaging technology, and real-time neural hypothesis testing. She advises students through courses like NEUROSCI 493-496 and NEUROBIO 793, integrating cutting-edge research into training programs.
