I am the PI of NeuBahar Lab (Neuro–Bayesian AI for Human-interpretable Abstractions and Representation Learning). I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta, an Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) Fellow, and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair. I am also a member of the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute (NMHI). I received my PhD in May 2023 from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, where I was also affiliated with the Center for Brain Science. Before joining the University of Alberta, I was a postdoctoral researcher and held the Swartz Foundation Fellowship Theoretical in Neuroscience for two years at the AI for Science Lab at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). During my PhD, I also worked at Amazon AI and Microsoft as a Research Intern. I have a BASc degree with distinction from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
