Jonathan Pillow, PhD

Jonathan completed his undergraduate education at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where he studied mathematics and philosophy. He received a Ph.D. in neuroscience from New York University in 2005, and was postdoctoral fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London. In 2009, he became an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and in 2014 Jonathan moved to Princeton University to join the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Psychology department, and Center for Statistics & Machine Learning. Jonathan's current research sits at the border between neuroscience and statistical machine learning, and focuses on computational and statistical methods for understanding how large populations of neurons transmit and process information.
