Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Gordienko is a PhD student in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania who bridges human memory research and machine learning to study why humans learn so effectively. With nine years of experience spanning lab programming, neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI), and computational modeling, he combines hands-on experiment building (OpenMaze/Unity) with ML-driven analyses. Previously he co-founded two startups, contributing full-stack engineering and product design while building an ML-based sentiment engine for meeting productivity. His work uniquely blends rigorous experimental neuroscience, neural-network simulation of hippocampal processes, and practical software development to move insights from lab to tools. Based in Philadelphia, he teaches undergraduate neuroscience courses and continues to translate cognitive theories into reproducible computational and software artifacts.
