Sedona Ewbank

About Me
I am a systems neuroscientist interested in advancing the understanding of and treatments for brain disease through computational and empirical research incorporating behavior, imaging, electrophysiology, and artificial intelligence. I received my BSc in biochemistry and neurobiology from the University of Washington in 2018 and my PhD in Neurosciences at Stanford University in 2026. My prior work has included using computational pose-based behavioral analysis of ketamine's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as well as applying diffusion MRI-based biophysical models of brain microstructure to ketamine.
Beyond my scientific research, I am also interested in scientific communication and in advancing equity in STEM education. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and flute, hiking, and reading.
