Dr. Ferree began his career in theoetical physics, conducting basic research in relativistic quantum mechanics. He received formal training in neuroscience, modeling the network control of chemotaxis in C. elegans. He then moved into human neuroscience, where he intends to stay. He was Scientist at Electrical Geodesics, and Assistant Professor at UC San Francisco, before joining UT Southwestern in 2007. His current research draws on his knowledge of physics, neuroscience, and imaging techniques, to advance our understanding of human brain function in health and disease. His goal is to develop new tools that will have a direct positive impact on human health care.
