Postdoc
Brian Frost is a postdoctoral scientist with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He earned his MS and PhD in electrical engineering from Columbia University in 2024 under Drs. Elizabeth Olson and Christine Hendon; his work involved the use of optical coherence tomography to measure vibrations within the mammalian cochlea. He then entered the Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience at Rockefeller University under the advisement of Dr. A. James Hudspeth. There, he continued his studies of inner-ear biophysics by characterizing sound-evoked displacements in the cochlea of the tokay gecko. He also developed methods for tracking hair cell development in the zebrafish lateral line during development. He joined the Gadagkar lab in 2026.
