Academic Achievements
  • Published extensively in top-tier venues including Nature, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, PNAS, NeurIPS, and ICLR
  • Developed pi-VAE (Zhou & Wei, NeurIPS 2020), a method to extract low-dimensional neural manifolds while modeling latent-behavior dependencies
  • Pioneered the use of optimized RNNs to model brain mechanisms of spatial navigation (Cueva & Wei, ICLR 2018)
  • Proposed unifying theories for perceptual biases and representational geometry (Hahn & Wei, Nature Neuroscience 2024; Kriegeskorte & Wei, Nature Reviews Neuroscience 2021)
  • Contributed to understanding population dynamics of the thalamic head direction system (Ajabi et al., Nature 2023)
