Director and Professor of Theoretical Neuroscience and Machine Learning
Maneesh Sahani
maneesh@gatsby.ucl.ac.ukResearch Interests
My research spans work in both single-neuron and population-level neural data modelling, inferential theories of perception and learning in the brain, and related areas of machine learning. Publications
Professor of Theoretical Neuroscience
Peter Latham
pel@gatsby.ucl.ac.ukResearch Interests
My research focuses on understanding how biologically realistic networks carry out computations. More specifically, my goal is to understand how connectivity and single neuron properties determine the ability of a network to perform computations, and how synaptic learning rules, single neuron properties, and patterns of input determine connectivity.

Professor of Machine Learning
Arthur Gretton
a.gretton@ucl.ac.ukResearch Interests
A key component of AI systems is the capacity to reason about distributions of real-world objects such as images, text or high-dimensional sequences. My research addresses two core aspects of this: the ability to learn structured models that generate faithful samples of such real-world entities; the ability to reason about and test properties of high-dimensional naturalistic distributions.

Peter Orbanz
porbanz@gatsby.ucl.ac.ukResearch interests
I study network and relational data, Bayesian nonparametrics, and exchangeability and symmetry properties. More generally, I am interested in all mathematical aspects of machine learning and pattern recognition. Publications
Group Leader in Machine Learning applied to Neuroscience (Jointly with SWC)
Research Interests
We aim to develop a mathematical toolkit suitable for analyzing and describing learning in the brain and mind. Publications
Part-time Honorary Lecturer (Senior Lecturer in Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge)
Research Interests
I study and develop principles for learning from data, with a particular focus on deep/overparametrized models. I’m interested in representation learning, generalization, optimization and probabilistic foundations.
Honorary Professor (Director of Neuroscience Research at DeepMind)
