معرفی
Konrad Paul Kording is the Nathan Francis Mossell University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science, holding primary appointments in Bioengineering and Neuroscience, and a secondary appointment in Computer and Information Science. His research focuses on computational neuroscience, machine learning, and their applications to understanding neural systems and human behavior. He leads a research group located in Room 404 Richards and maintains an active research website and personal academic page.
His work explores topics such as neural decoding, causal inference, and the alignment of artificial neural networks with biological systems. He has pioneered methods for analyzing neural activity in macaques, developing large-scale facial analysis resources like PrimateFace. His interdisciplinary approach integrates computer vision, medical informatics, and robotics to address challenges in neurology and developmental disorders.
Recent research highlights include advancing techniques for early prediction of cerebral palsy using motion tracking and automated segmentation of synchrotron-scanned fossils. His contributions to causal discovery methodologies and neural network interpretability have been influential in both neuroscience and machine learning communities.
