Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Milstein is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology at Rutgers with 11 years of research experience probing how biophysical dendritic properties and cortical laminar architecture enable one-shot learning without backpropagation. Trained at MIT (BS) and UCSF (PhD), he translated deep mechanistic insights from postdoctoral work at HHMI/Janelia and an instructor role at Stanford into a research program that bridges basic and clinical neuroscience with machine learning theory. His lab focuses on synaptic plasticity rules that biological networks use to learn rapidly, and he actively explores how those principles can inspire novel, biologically plausible ML algorithms. Based in New Jersey, he combines rigorous experimental electrophysiology and computational modeling to tackle problems few in AI or neuroscience currently address.
