Ábel Ságodi

Hi, I’m Ábel Ságodi. I am a PhD student at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon, working at the intersection of theoretical neuroscience, machine learning, and control theory. With a background in Mathematics, Physics, and Computational Science (MSc & BSc from the University of Amsterdam), I approach the brain as a complex dynamical system. I am fascinated by how biological circuits, despite being noisy and biological, can perform robust computation. I draw inspiration from the philosophy of science to develop an interpretable language for this computation, finding the right mathematical abstractions to understand how the brain actually works.
