Keynote Speaker
J. Steven de Belle, PhD
The brain is a physiological marvel of nature, and the canvas on which we experience our individual lives. Understanding how the brain wires, works, and changes has been the focus of Dr. J. Steven de Belle’s research, a basis for effective educational practice, and an engine of beneficial, lucrative, and exhilarating enterprise. With a focus on learning and memory, his research programs in academia and industry have centered on characterizing the genetic, physiological, structural, and cognitive properties of brains that enable human and non- human animals to modify their behavior and adapt in response to changing environments throughout their lives. Dr. de Belle has contributed to and promoted the development of innovative research, didactic teaching and mentoring, organizational and programmatic advancement, and effective communication of science and technology to the public. He is a proponent of the Science of Learning pedagogy and of integrating learning and research across disciplines. Dr. de Belle’s professional experiences include examining the mechanistic underpinnings of brain plasticity, learning, and memory as a Research Scientist. Currently he teaches in the Behavioral Neuroscience Program at the University of San Diego.
