One project uses tobacco hawkmoths as a reduced-complexity model system to identify fundamental principles of neural computation. The other examines human learning and decision-making using a custom sensorimotor paradigm and computational modeling.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHuang has presented his findings at venues such as the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Annual Meeting and the Southeastern Medical Scientist Symposium, and he is preparing first-author manuscripts for submission later this spring.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Professor \u003Cstrong\u003ESimon Sponberg\u003C\/strong\u003E, who has advised Huang in the Agile Systems Lab, it\u2019s Huang\u2019s approach to his work that sets him apart.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cElliot\u2019s excellence goes beyond easily quantified metrics of academics,\u201d Sponberg said. \u201cHe is exceptionally self-motivated and is constantly in pursuit of his goals.

While he was initially drawn to Tech\u2019s computer science program, his academic focus evolved as he became more involved in mentorship and campus ministry, and as mental health challenges affected those close to him.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThose experiences ultimately solidified his goal of becoming a physician-scientist working at the intersection of computational modeling and psychiatry. Huang hopes to reframe psychiatric disorders not simply as collections of symptoms, but as variations in underlying cognitive processes.
