Kazuki Irie, PhD

Kazuki Irie is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science and a Wu Tsai Investigator at Yale University. He conducts fundamental research in deep learning to advance artificial intelligence and machine cognition by developing general-purpose neural networks and learning and memory algorithms, which he also explores as novel computational hypotheses for cognitive neuroscience and beyond. Before joining Yale, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University and at the “Swiss AI Lab IDSIA” at the University of Lugano, Switzerland, where he also served as a lecturer teaching deep learning. He received his PhD in Computer Science from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, after completing undergraduate and Master’s studies in Applied Mathematics at École Centrale Paris and ENS Cachan in France.
