E.J. Chichilnisky
Eduardo Jose Chichilnisky (shortened to E.J.; born 1965)[a] is an Argentine-born neurobiologist and academic. He has worked at Stanford University since 2013, and serves as John R. Adler Professor of Neurosurgery.
Personal life and education[edit]
E.J. Chichilnisky was born 1965[1] in Buenos Aires, Argentina to then-unmarried Graciela Chichilnisky.[2] Graciela moved to the United States for graduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology within the first few years of E.J.'s lifetime, and raised him as a single mother.[3][4] E.J. received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Princeton University and subsequently earned a Master of Science degree in mathematics and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in neuroscience from Stanford University.[5] His Stanford Ph.D. dissertation was entitled Perceptual Measurements of Neural Computations in Color Appearance.[6]
Speaking on Andrew Huberman's podcast in 2024, Chichilnisky described his path through education—the Ph.D. program in neuroscience was the third doctoral program at Stanford that he had pursued; he had earlier started and dropped programs in math and in economics.[7]
Career and research[edit]
Chichilnisky's research focuses on understanding the spatiotemporal electrical activity patterns in the retina, which are essential for transmitting visual information to the brain. Chichilnisky's work involves studying these patterns and their relationship to retinal circuitry through the use of extensive multi-electrode recordings.[8] He has also worked in characterizing retinal cells' neural signaling.[9]
Before joining Stanford, Chichilnisky worked at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.[10] He worked for Salk from 1998 to 2013, the year he joined Stanford University.[11] At Stanford, he is a professor of neurosurgery and of ophthalmology, and, by courtesy, of electrical engineering.[12]
