Assistant Professor
Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. She also serves as a Provost Research Fellow at Columbia University, demonstrating her significant research contributions early in her academic career. NuttidaLab, her research group, focuses on integrating computational and experimental approaches to investigate the neural computations underlying complex cognitive functions in both health and disease. The lab's research spans several key areas including learning mechanisms, decision-making processes, and social behavior, with particular emphasis on understanding how these cognitive functions become disrupted in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The lab has developed several important computational neuroscience tools including NeuralDecoder for representational similarity analysis, state_space_analysis for modeling neural dynamics, MARLAX for multi-agent reinforcement learning, and dynamax for state space modeling. These tools reflect the lab's commitment to developing robust analytical frameworks that can be widely adopted by the neuroscience community. NuttidaLab maintains an active GitHub presence with multiple repositories that demonstrate the lab's focus on open science and reproducible research. The lab's work combines cutting-edge computational approaches with experimental neuroscience to develop a deeper understanding of brain function. The lab actively seeks talented students and researchers interested in interdisciplinary work at the intersection of engineering, neuroscience, and computational science. Professor Rungratsameetaweemana's research represents an important bridge between theoretical computational models and experimental neuroscience, with significant potential for advancing our understanding of both healthy brain function and neurological disorders.
