Elizabeth Hillman is a Herbert and Florence Irving Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology and a member of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University. She received her undergraduate and PhD training in Physics at University College London and completed post-doctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. She has developed a wide range of optical imaging, microscopy and imaging analysis approaches, notably SCAPE microscopy and wide field optical mapping. She applies these imaging tools to studies of brain function and physiology, both for dynamic in-vivo imaging of brain function and high-throughput structural imaging of intact and cleared tissues.
