Published multiple papers including Nature (2023), bioRxiv (2024, 2020a, 2020b), Nature Neuroscience (2022, 2020), Neuron (2018, 2017), and CONB 2020.
Research Experience
Leads the sinth lab at the University of Montreal and Mila. The lab fuses AI with neurophysiology experiments to study how biological brains coordinate behavior. Major research projects include: 1. Neural computations underlying animal behavior; 2. Closed-loop interfaces between artificial and biological circuits; 3. Brain-inspired approaches for NeuroAI.
Education
Currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Université de Montréal and an Associate Member of Mila (Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute). Previously: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai / University of Geneva / Northwestern University / EPFL / University of Pittsburgh.
Background
Research interests span from how evolution and neurodevelopment shape brain computations to mechanisms of brain circuits that give rise to affective and motor behaviors, to neural engineering and brain-computer interfaces. A key aspect of my research is pushing the field of NeuroAI from a strong rooting in neuroscience principles. Personal interests include music, photography, and cooking.
Miscellany
In addition to science, enjoys making music, photography, and cooking his way across the globe.
