The PI
Paul Masset is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University and an Associate Academic Member at Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute. His research group works at the intersection of neuroscience, AI and cognitive science. The focus of his research group is to understand how the structure of neural circuits endows the brain with efficient distributed computations underlying cognition and how we can leverage these principles to design more efficient learning algorithms.
Prior to joining McGill, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. He obtained his PhD at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, his Masters in Cognitive Science at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) and his M.Eng/B.A. in Information and Computer Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
