THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Dr. Low has recruited several talented volunteers to analyze sleep data at a high temporal resolution and to develop new brainwave acquisition techniques.
Mr. Stanley Barton worked in a Salk Institute flylab investigating heterochromatin and the kinetochore after graduating from College. Following a class in Neuroscience at UCSD, Stanley became a volunteer in the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at The Salk Institute. Stanley is interested in neuroscience and sleep.
Mr. Ivan Ho graduated from medical school at the National University of Singapore after obtaining his Bachelor in Electrical Engineering at the same institution. He spent some time on an A*STAR fellowship as a visiting scholar in Dr. Sejnowski's laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, analyzing polysomnographic recordings of human subjects at a high temporal resolution under the supervision of Dr. Philip Low. Ivan focused on a 1 sec analysis of Stage II. He has plans to pursue PhD studies in Neuroscience as well as further training in Clinical Sleep medicine.
Ms. Riley Landreth is a UCSD graduate with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Physiology. During previous laboratory experience as a Research Associate for Fqubed, Inc., she focused upon the preparation and screening for molecular sebum penetration enhancers to aid in the delivery of actives by topical products. She has accrued experience within the science multimedia industry through employment with The Science Network, an organization closely affiliated with the Computational Neurobiology Lab at the Salk Institute. As a business development associate at Advanced Body Care Centers wellness clinic, Riley collaborated with physicians and healthcare practitioners to structure a business plan aimed at integrating novel approaches to medicine with current practices. Riley is interested in pursuing further education within the fields of alternative medicine and Neuroscience.
Mr. Michael J. Salk graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Reed College in 2006. His thesis entitled "From Spiritual Beings to Counterintuitive Agents: God-Beliefs, Cognitive Science, and the New Naturalism in Religious Studies" won an award for creative excellence, and was the subject of a presentation to the Reed College Board of Trustees. He is working with his thesis advisor, Steven Wasserstrom, to produce two forthcoming books on the intellectual history of Religious Studies, as well as an article on the topic of his thesis. Michael also worked for The Science Network at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, assembling a manuscript from the conference "Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason and Survival." His primary interests include philosophy, religion and cognitive neuroscience, and he intends to pursue graduate work in these areas.
Ms. Arlene Schlosser, RPSGT, started working in sleep studies in 1984 at UCSD/VA sleep laboratory of Dr. J. Christian Gillin. Arlene currently works for the J.C. Gillin Laboratory of Sleep and Chronobiology at the General Clinical Research Center at UCSD. Sleep research at the laboratory has included numerous studies of Sleep and Depression, Insomnia and Sleep Deprivation. Current sleep studies include Sleep Deprivation, Learning and Memory, Aging, Sleep Apnea, Napping, Insomnia, Sleep in Parkinson's patients and Teen Sleep.
Ms. Ilana Spokoyni is a First Year medical school student at UCSD. She has a B.S. in Bioengineering from UCSD where she minored in Mathematics. She is fluent in Russian and has studied Hebrew and Spanish. She has interned at the Salk since November of 2005, and has worked in 2006 and 2007 with Dr. Low on a 1 sec analysis of Stage II sleep in humans and across species. She has worked as a tutor for the SAT and MCAT and was executive officer of the Pre-Medical Society of Students for Service at UCSD.
Mr. Ryan Wong, RPSGT. Ryan Wong began work in the field of sleep research in 1990, shortly after receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University, Northridge. His beginnings in the lab of Dr. J. Christian Gillin, M.D., at the VA San Diego Healthcare System formed a lasting impression, which provided motivation to pursue graduate studies. In 1996 he received his Master of Arts degree in Physiological Psychology from San Francisco State University. Later that year, he started work at the Clinical Sleep Disorders Center at the University of California San Francisco/Mount Zion Hospital, and at the Stanford University Sleep Disorders Center. He returned to San Diego in 1998 to work for Dr. Gillin again, where he acquired status as a member of the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists. Currently he is working in the Laboratory for Sleep and Behavioral Neuroscience for Dr. Sean Drummond, Ph.D. at the VASDHS, where ongoing research in Sleep Deprivation, Learning and Memory, Aging, Sleep Apnea, Napping, and Insomnia, with correlate fMRI and QEEG techniques is in progress.
Mr. Luke Wylie is currently working in the Crick-Jacobs Computational Neurobiology Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Terrence Sejnowski. Luke's research entails software and experiment design for tracking quantum dot diffusion in the extracellular matrix using a custom acousto-optic deflection fluorescence microscope. His previous research involves determining 3D neural fiber orientation based on confocal and polarized light microscopy. Luke has a background in neurobiology, biochemistry, optics and computer science. He is a 2007 cum laude graduate of UC San Diego with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Computer arts.
