Nicholas G. “Nicho” Hatsopoulos, Ph.D. is currently a Professor at the University of Chicago. Dr. Hatsopoulos is also Chairman of the Computational Neuroscience graduate program. He is currently running a laboratory that is funded in part by the National Institutes of Health.  From January 1998 to December 2001 Dr. Hatsopoulos was an Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University. Dr. Hatsopoulos completed two postdoctoral research fellowships, one in the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University and the other in the Computational Neuroscience Program at the California Institute of Technology.

Dr. Hatsopoulos completed his B.A. in Physics from Williams College in 1984, his M.S. in Psychology in 1991 and his Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from Brown University in 1992.

In 2001, he co-founded the company Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, which took the basic scientific research he and his colleagues conducted to develop neural prosthesis technology to assist people with severe motor disabilities.

His research focuses on the neural basis of motor control and learning. He is investigating what features of motor behavior are encoded and how this information is represented in the collective activity of neuronal ensembles in the motor cortex. He is also interested in how these representations change as motor learning occurs.

Dr. Hatsopoulos has authored over 60 peer-reviewed articles, reviews, book chapters, and a book, and has given over 70 invited lectures and scientific presentations.
