Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Mattfeld is an Assistant Professor and cognitive neuroscientist with 12 years of research experience investigating how learning and memory change across the lifespan and in disease, using multimodal imaging and computational models of associative learning. Trained at Johns Hopkins and UC Irvine, he blends rigorous experimental design and statistics with hands-on neuroimaging expertise (fMRI, MRI, DTI) to dissect distinct and interacting memory systems. His academic trajectory includes a postdoc at MIT and a faculty role at Florida International University, where he leads work translating basic mechanisms into clinical and developmental contexts. In addition to his lab work, he contributes to open-source neuroimaging tools—improving Nipype’s FSL interfaces and diffusion-MRI processing—demonstrating a practical commitment to reproducible, community-driven methods.
