Mikkel Elle Lepperød

Dr. Mikkel Elle Lepperød is a Research Fellow at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. He works in the intersection of causal inference, computational neuroscience, and machine learning, focusing on biologically inspired artificial intelligence and causal learning in neural networks.

• Education: MSc in Applied Mathematics, PhD in Neuroscience (Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity, University of Oslo)

His research explores learning mechanisms in both biological and artificial neural networks, with applications to spatial navigation, memory systems, adversarial robustness, and neural cellular automata. He develops computational models like MIIND and Spikeometric to bridge gaps between neuroscience and AI.

Publications (2025–2023) cover topics such as causal inference in brain networks, neural cellular automata for memory modeling, grid/place cell dynamics, and biologically inspired AI. His work integrates computational geometry, spiking networks, and developmental AI approaches.

He supervises Computational Science projects on bio-inspired continual learning and causal learning in neural networks. His email address is mikkel@simula.no.
