Researcher

Mackenzie Mathis

Mathis earned a Harvard doctorate in 2017 and led an independent laboratory supported by a Rowland Fellowship from 2017 to 2020. It dates her EPFL assistant-professor appointment from 2020. The original DeepLabCut research appeared in 2018. The shared project uses deep-learning transfer methods for markerless tracking of body parts and behavior across species. In 2023, Mathis coauthored Learnable Latent Embeddings for Joint Behavioral and Neural Analysis in Nature with Steffen Schneider and Jin Lee. This work is part of CEBRA.
