Paul Masset
I did my undergrad at the University of Cambridge where I graduated with a B.A and M.Eng in Information and Computer Engineering and then did an M.Res in Cognitive Science at the EHESS in Paris during which I worked with Sophie Denève at the Ecole Normale Superieure on Bayesian models of attentional modulation. I then moved to the Watson School of Biological Sciences at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for my PhD. I did my thesis work with Adam Kepecs on behavioral and neural signatures of decision confidence. I am now a Postdoctoral Fellow with Venkatesh Murthy and Naoshige Uchida in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard. My goal is to bridge recent advances in artificial intelligence with new technical developments in systems neuroscience to study dopaminergic circuits in the midbrain and early olfactory processing.
