Background
Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig
Member of the Neural Data Science and Statistical Computing group led by Nico Scherf
Affiliated with the Neural Coding Lab at the Donders Institute in the Netherlands
Research focuses on neural coding, particularly similarities between representation hierarchies in convolutional neural networks and biological visual systems
Currently exploring end-to-end training of CNN models of the visual system directly on large-scale human fMRI data to predict brain activity and build in-silico models
This approach enables large-scale analysis of the visual system and may eventually allow reconstruction of perception or imagery from brain activity
Advocates for open data and code sharing in neuroscience, following the Donders Institute’s policy
