About
Me
I'm Molin Zhao, a second-year student at UC Davis. I study biomedical engineering, with a minor in neuroscience.
I'm just getting started in research. So far that has mostly meant independent projects: language brain-computer interfaces, where I rebuild published decoders from their public data and try to extend them; interpretability, looking at what models represent inside; and small things I build because I want them to exist.
Most projects start as a reproduction, and I write up what didn't work alongside what did.
Labs
- Neuroprosthetics Lab fMRI scans that map language networks in people with aphasia.
- Oehrn Lab Recording software that keeps video, eye tracking and EEG in sync during deep brain stimulation sessions.
- Starr-Luxton Lab Image-analysis pipelines for C. elegans microscopy.
Independence
Unless a page says otherwise, everything on this site is my own independent work and opinion. It is separate from my work in labs, was not reviewed or endorsed by them, and does not speak for them or for UC Davis.
