Biography
H. Ronald Kaback has been a member of the faculty at UCLA since he joined the Depts. of Physiology and Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics, as well as the Molecular Biology Institute, in 1989 as a full professor. Dr. Kaback earned his B.S. at Haverford College and his M.D. at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he also did an internship in Pediatrics. After a year as a graduate student, he became a Commissioned Officer in the USPHS at the NIH and subsequently became at Staff Associate. He then moved to the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology in Nutley, NJ where he later became Head of Biochemistry before coming to UCLA. He is a member of the National Academy of Science and is the recipient of many awards for his work.

Biography
Dr. Jonathan Kao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in 2016 in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University working with Dr. Krishna Shenoy, where he developed algorithms for brain-machine interfaces. He continued his post-doctoral research in the same lab, using statistical and machine learning techniques to analyze the dynamics of neural populations. His lab is interested in computational techniques to elucidate computational mechanisms in neural populations as well as designing algorithms for neural prostheses.
