Amirali Vahid is a Postdoctoral Researcher at UC Santa Barbara. He received his PhD in Psychology from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, as well as a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran. He is interested in applying machine learning models and computer vision to biological and biomedical applications. In particular, his research focuses on determining how the mouse brain extracts relevant visual features from the rich, dynamic visual input that typifies active exploration, and to investigate how the neural representations of these features can support visual navigation.
