معرفی
Stefano Fusi is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, with joint affiliations at the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and Kavli Institute. His laboratory focuses on computational modeling of neural circuits and neuromorphic engineering.
Education
- PhD in Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1999)
- BS in Physics, Sapienza University of Rome (1992)
Research Focus
Fusi investigates how biological complexity supports neural computation through three primary domains: theoretical analysis of neural circuit dynamics, representational geometry in learning systems, and hardware implementations of brain-inspired algorithms. His work bridges machine learning, neurophysiology, and theoretical physics, emphasizing high-dimensional representations and memory optimization.
Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on neural coding principles across hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and sensory systems, with innovations in modeling working memory, stress responses, and cross-species computational paradigms.
Collaborations & Labs
Leads an interdisciplinary laboratory collaborating with Columbia experimental neuroscientists, MIT engineers, and Stanford computational researchers to validate theoretical models. Current projects include neuromorphic hardware development and neural decoding of emotional states.
