Dr. Alexander Mathis is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University working with Prof.
Venkatesh N. Murthy. He is interested in elucidating how the brain gives rise to adaptive
behavior. For those purposes, he develops deep learning methods to analyze animal
behavior. His PhD thesis with Prof. Andreas Herz focused on deriving properties of grid
cells from optimal coding assumptions. In 2020 he will start his group at the Ecole
Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
