Yin-Jui (Derek) Chang, a second-year graduate student advised by Dr. Samantha Santacruz, has received a 2020 Ministry of Education Taiwan Scholarship to study abroad. The government scholarship will partially fund his studies at UT Austin.

In his first year, Chang presented research posters at 2019 Neuroscience, the annual conference of the Society for Neuroscience, and the 2019 Conference on Learning and Memory. He will soon submit his first-author journal paper. The paper’s focus is forward and inverse models between two modalities of neural recording.
