About
Kevin Boergens is a Research Assistant Professor in the Departments of Physics and Biological Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago. Kevin came to UIC from Austin, Texas where he worked in industry at Paradromics Inc. to build high data-rate brain computer interfaces (BCI). His research interests at UIC include using 3D electron microscopy to map brain circuits. His newest efforts focus on developing photoemission electron microscopy as a tool for neuroscience and mapping brain structures involved in alcohol use disorder. Kevin received his doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
Interests
Kevin is interested in using 3D electron microscopy to elucidate circuits in RMTg
