Dr. Eilif Muller

Biography

Eilif Muller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of Montreal and serves as the Principal Investigator at the Architectures Biological Learning Lab (ABL-Lab) within the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center. His research focuses on the fundamental questions at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, particularly concerning how sensory perception is learned in the neocortex. The ABL-Lab integrates empirical advancements in understanding synaptic, dendritic, and circuit physiology to explore biophysical simulations of neocortical circuits in tandem with functional deep convolutional networks. This synergetic approach aims to unearth new perspectives on neocortical learning processes and offer novel insights into deep learning challenges. His affiliations also include being an Associate Faculty Member at the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute (Mila) and a member of IVADO, the Data Valorization Institute.
