Lu Mi comes to Georgia Tech from the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the University of Washington where she was a Shanahan Foundation Fellow. She completed her Ph.D. at MIT in 2022 with Professor Nir Shavit. Mi’s research lies at the intersection of natural intelligence and artificial intelligence. She mainly focuses on building fast and scalable automatic brain imaging pipelines. By leveraging artificial neural networks, Mi aims to understand the mechanisms of coding, computation, and learning within biological neural networks, using multi-modal neural data. She is also interested in developing brain-inspired machine intelligence frameworks.
