Grace Lindsay
Assistant Professor of Psychology and Data Science
Bio: After a BS in neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh and a year at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Freiburg, Germany, Dr. Lindsay got her PhD at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University. After that, she was a Sainsbury Wellcome Centre/Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit Research Fellow at University College London.
Her work uses artificial neural networks to understand the brain, with a particular interest in studying the control and effects of attention on sensory processing. She also applies machine learning techniques to climate change problems, focusing on the analysis of satellite and geospatial data. Dr. Lindsay is also the author of the popular science book Models of the Mind: How physics, engineering, and mathematics have shaped our understanding of the brain.
