I am an applied scientist and computational neuroscience postdoctoral research fellow at Cortical Labs. Our work focuses on creating biological intelligence by fusing living brain cells with computing devices.
Currently, I am a full-time applied scientist and computational neuroscience postdoctoral research fellow at Cortical Labs. We are a start-up company that has created DishBrain, which fuses living brain cells onto computing devices to create machines with biological intelligence. Our in-vitro neuronal cultures can learn to play the game of 'Pong'!
I am an organizing program chair for the NeuroAI Workshop @ NeurIPS 2024, fostering collaboration between neuroscience and AI to drive innovative solutions.
