Michale Fee

Michale Sean Fee (born November 6, 1964) is an American applied physicist who works on the neural mechanisms of sequence generation and learning.

He received a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University (1992), where he conducted his thesis work in the laboratory of Steven Chu.

In 1996 Michale Fee joined the Biological Computation Research Department at Bell Labs as a permanent researcher (Member of Technical Staff), at which time he began working on the mechanisms of vocal sequence generation in the songbird.

In 2003, he joined the faculty of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT as Associate Professor of Neuroscience with tenure.

Michale Fee's research aims to understand how neural circuits in the brain subserve the generation and learning or complex motor sequences.
