Erin Grant is a Senior Research Fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London. Erin studies prior knowledge and learning mechanisms in minds, brains, and machines using a combination of behavioral experiments, computational simulations, and analytical techniques, with the goal of grounding higher-level cognitive phenomena in a neural implementation. Erin earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2022 with support from Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. During her Ph.D., Erin spent time at OpenAI, Google Brain, and DeepMind. Erin currently serves on the Women in Machine Learning Board of Directors.
