I am fascinated by how neurons and networks (in brains and machines) encode information and perform computations. While it is now possible to train and build highly effective networks, this does not mean we understand them. This hampers our interpretation of what neural networks are really doing, which is not something desirable for a technology seeing such increasingly widespread use. My research focus is therefore always to find the core underlying principles of network function (currently mainly in spiking networks, but also more generally).
