Summary
Andrea Stocco is an associate professor of computational neuroscience at the University of Washington with over a decade of experience modeling how distinct memory systems interact and vary across individuals. He combines neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI), computational cognitive modeling, and behavioral experiments to map how symbolic knowledge and reinforcement learning are implemented in brain networks. His work spans academic leadership—mentoring students, securing grants, and teaching—with translational ambitions to develop technologies that reshape learning and treatment of mental disorders. Notably, he has integrated cognitive architectures (Leabra and ACT-R) in models of rapid instructed task learning and co-founded Precision Cognition Labs to bridge lab insights with real-world applications. Based in Seattle, he brings a rare blend of theoretical rigor, experimental skill, and entrepreneurial drive.
