Jan Drugowitsch

Jan Drugowitsch is an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurobiology, focusing on computational neuroscience and neural implementation of reasoning under uncertainty. His lab explores how the nervous system processes ambiguous information through decision-making and navigation studies.

• Harvard Medical School affiliation
• Member of academic networks in neurobiology and cognitive science

Research interests include neural network dynamics, Bayesian inference, and cognitive modeling of uncertainty. His work combines machine learning, physics, and neuroscience to develop theories of neural information processing.

Recent trends in his publications emphasize reinforcement learning, heterogeneous neural tuning, and navigation under uncertainty using closed-loop collaborations with experimentalists. Key sub-fields include hippocampal spatial tuning, distributional reinforcement learning, and neural population dynamics.

His lab, located in the Boston Longwood Medical Area, maintains affiliations with both MIT and Harvard Cambridge campus researchers. The theoretical focus is complemented by NIH funding acknowledgments in his social media activity.
