Hi! I’m Elliot Smith, and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the SMack Lab, and am currently analyzing single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from the Rhesus macaque brain to characterize how age and sex shape transcriptional changes across cell types. I completed my Neuroscience PhD at ASU in 2025 in Dr. Sharon Crook’s lab, and my graduate research focused on biophysically realistic modeling of the mouse olfactory bulb circuitry to better understand mechanisms that contribute to different oscillations. I graduated from ASU in 2020 with a double B.S. in Biophysics and Psychology. I also love cooking, creating art, hiking, and spending time with my cats, and I am a big fan of bass music!
