Konrad Kording is the Nathan Mossell University Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) Professor of bioengineering and neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-director of the CIFAR Learning in Machines & Brains program. He is interested in understanding the brain as a computational device and how to mine neural data for causal relations. He uses data analysis methods, including machine learning and Bayesian models, to ask fundamental questions about the brain, behavior, and disease. He is also an advocate and contributor to open science and scientific rigor.
