Jacob Miller, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology (Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience Division) at U-Miami. Previously, he was a Wu Tsai Institute postdoctoral fellow at Yale University, working with Profs. John Murray and Amy Arnsten. He completed his Ph.D. in 2021 with Mark D’Esposito at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the recipient of a CTSI K12 award and his research focuses on how the architecture of the prefrontal cortex supports a remarkable array of flexible cognition and memory behavior in humans. To do this, his lab (https://www.jam-lab.org/) uses the tools of functional and anatomical neuroimaging to peer into the human brain, combined with computational modeling of neural circuits and behaviors, and analyses of large-scale neurophysiological data. From this work, his lab aims to deepen our understanding of memory circuits as a critical step in developing next-generation, targeted interventions and in broadly advancing human cognitive and brain health.
