Royal Society University Research Fellow

I am currently a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh (since January 2025). I work in the field of NeuroAI – an intersection between studies of natural and artificial intelligence.

Drawing on my interdisciplinary background, I view intelligence as fundamentally linked to predictive processing and dynamic interaction with the environment. I am also interested in applying my research to understanding the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorders, and enabling effective decoding of movement for developing prosthetic devices and human-machine interfaces.

📚 My Research

I am a computational neuroscientist, with expertise in analyzing large neural population recordings. Over the years, I have worked with data from various recording modalities, brain areas, and behavioral paradigms.

My current research focuses on understanding and controlling neural population dynamics. Specifically, I am interested in uncovering the computation that integrates predictions about future behavior with sensory feedback about the current state of the agent and its environment.
