Mike Henninger

[Web: http://syntheticneurobiology.org/]  [Email: henninge, followed by @media.mit.edu]  [Phone: N/A]

Mike Henninger is getting his PhD in physics at MIT.  In the lab, he works at the interface between physics and neuroscience, designing and building novel noninvasive brain stimulators.  Mike is a product of Northwestern University's Integrated Science Program, where he triple majored in physics, math, and integrated science.  After graduating, he joined the Peace Corps and worked as a science teacher in Ghana for two years.  He also takes part in scientist advocacy as a member of the MIT Science Policy Initiative. Mike received a Hugh Hampton Young Memorial Fellowship and a NDSEG Graduate Fellowship.
