Pedro Gonçalves

Pedro Gonçalves is a Group Leader at VIB-NERF since May 2023, and a co-affiliated PI at VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology. He is also a member of ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems). Before starting his lab, Pedro did a postdoc with Maneesh Sahani at the Gatsby Unit, UCL, London, followed by a postdoc in Jakob Macke’s lab at the University of Tuebingen, Germany. His PhD was supervised by Christian Machens at Ecole normale superieure, Paris.

Pedro's lab develops and applies probabilistic machine learning tools to derive mechanistic insights from neural data, to ultimately uncover the mechanisms underlying neural computations, across species and brain areas.
