Hamed Karimi

I'm a PhD student at the department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. I work at the Social and Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Lab, where I am supervised by Stefano Anzellotti. Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the Royan Institute under the supervision of Seyed-Mahdi Khaligh-Razavi. I got my master's and bachelor's degrees in Computer Science from Amirkabir University of Technology and University of Tehran, respectively.

My research interest lies at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and machine learning. I am interested in understanding the brain representation of humans while navigating in natural environments. I develop DL/RL models that capture the human brain at the level of neural representations as well as the behavior.
