As a Computational Scientist and Engineer with extensive cross-disciplinary experience, I contribute to the understanding of the learning principles underlining animal learning. My team and I take inspiration from these principles to design novel, machine learning techniques, and in particular reinforcement learning and reservoir computing methods. We also work closely with material scientists and engineers to design hardware that computes in a brain-like manner.
