I am a Senior Research Fellow at the
Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit &
Sainsbury Wellcome Centre
at University College London (UCL).
Research summary: I study learning in minds, brains, and machines using a combination of behavioral experiments, computational simulations, and analytical techniques. See my research page for more.
Here is a more formal bio that can be used to introduce me.
