Rate My Professor David Schulz

Schulz has received numerous awards, including election as an AAAS Fellow in 2019 for contributions to molecular neuroscience, neural network dynamics, and neuroscience education; the William T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence in 2018; the Ann K. Covington Award in 2019; the Provost Award for University Citizenship in Faculty Leadership in 2024; and the Richard F. and Sharon A. Keister Faculty Enhancement Award in Biological Sciences in 2017. He co-established one of the first undergraduate minors in computational neuroscience at the university and has developed NSF- and NIH-supported workshops for students and faculty. Notable publications include 'Variable channel expression in identified single and electrically coupled neurons in different animals' (Nature Neuroscience, 2006), 'Invertebrate central pattern generation moves along' (Current Biology, 2005), and 'Quantitative expression profiling of identified neurons reveals cell-specific constraints on highly variable levels of gene expression' (PNAS, 2007). His work elucidates mechanisms balancing plasticity and stability in neural circuits, with applications to spinal cord injury and neurological disorders.
