Postdoctoral Researcher · Berlin
Alessandro Gifford
I study the neural algorithm and representational content underlying visual processing, using a combination of large-scale neural datasets, computational modeling, and machine learning.
About
I'm a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive computational visual neuroscience at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, in the Neural Dynamics of Visual Cognition Lab led by Radoslaw Cichy
People do science for many different reasons. As for me, I deeply enjoy intellectual challenges, and I see science as a great opportunity to think, explore, discover, and create.
Besides scientific research, things in life that I appreciate are: philosophy, learning, open and honest communication, movies (independent/arthouse), electronic music, playing Frisbee, mountain hikes, sleeping.
