Kevin Williams

Kevin graduated with B.S degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Georgia in 2020. With an interest in the neural basis of decision-making and motivated behavior, Kevin participated in research efforts to uncover how dopaminergic circuits result in depression/anxiety-related behavior and motivated food intake behavior in rat models, leading him to become interested in more specific neuronal mechanisms underlying complex behavior. Now a graduate student in the Dynamical Neuroscience program, Kevin looks to uncover neuronal mechanisms underlying chemotaxis in Drosophila larvae. As a former high school educator, Kevin is also passionate about universal, quality science education and promoting diversity, equity, and accessibility in science.
