معرفی
John E. Lewis is a Full Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa, affiliated with the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on systems neurobiology and computational neurobiology, particularly exploring how neural dynamics mediate sensory processing and behavior in weakly electric fish. His work spans electrophysiology, computational modeling, and quantitative behavior analysis.
Education details are not explicitly provided, but his extensive publications suggest advanced training in neuroscience and biophysics. Research interests include the physics of electric fields in sensory systems, neural network energetics, and the biophysical mechanisms underlying electric organ discharges.
His lab studies are supported by NSERC and the University of Ottawa. Notable collaborations include work on electrosensory signal processing and the development of tools like ELFENN and fish2eod. He advises numerous graduate and undergraduate students, with a focus on interdisciplinary projects combining biology, physics, and engineering.
Labs/Teams: Lewis Lab (uOttawa) focuses on electric fish neurobiology, supported by NSERC grants. The lab acknowledges its location on unceded Algonquin territory.
