We're delighted to welcome two new members to our research team this fall!
We're thrilled to welcome Dr. [REDACTED] as a Research Scientist and [REDACTED ORGANIZATION] Associate Fellow. [REDACTED] brings exceptional expertise in computational neuroscience and mathematical modeling of neural oscillations.
[REDACTED] completed their PhD in Computational Neuroscience at [REDACTED UNIVERSITY], where they developed innovative theoretical frameworks for understanding how brain rhythms support cognitive function. Their work bridges information theory, dynamical systems, and cognitive psychology in unique and important ways.
At our lab, [REDACTED] will lead a new research thrust investigating the computational principles of neural oscillations and their role in attention, memory, and cognitive control. This work complements our existing research programs and opens exciting new directions for understanding brain-behavior relationships.
We're also pleased to welcome [REDACTED] as a new MSc student. [REDACTED] completed their undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Psychology at [REDACTED UNIVERSITY], where they developed a strong foundation in both computational methods and cognitive theory.
[REDACTED] will be working on hierarchical reinforcement learning models of cognitive control as part of their Master's thesis. Their research will examine how computational models of hierarchical decision making can explain human performance in complex task-switching paradigms.
With their background in computer science and interest in cognitive psychology, [REDACTED] brings valuable technical skills and fresh perspectives to our modeling efforts.
These additions bring our lab to eight active members, representing diverse backgrounds in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics. This interdisciplinary mix continues to strengthen our research capabilities and foster innovative approaches to understanding cognition.
Both [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] have already begun contributing to lab meetings and collaborative projects. We're excited to see how their unique perspectives will enhance our research programs and lead to new discoveries.
As part of their integration into the lab, both new members will be:
Welcome to the team, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]! We look forward to the contributions you'll make to computational cognitive science.
