Research Experience
Leads the Pehlevan Group, whose goal is to understand the capabilities and limitations of intelligent systems through the collective dynamics of simple processing units or neurons. Research intersects with theoretical and computational neuroscience, deep learning theory, physics of learning, machine learning, statistical mechanics, and high-dimensional statistics.
Background
Research interests include theoretical and computational neuroscience, deep learning theory, physics of learning, machine learning, statistical mechanics, and high-dimensional statistics. The goal is to elucidate the theoretical foundations of natural and artificial intelligence through the lens of neural computation.
Miscellany
Affiliated with multiple research centers and initiatives, including the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Center for Brain Science, Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural & Artificial Intelligence, and others.
