Top SchoolLeo Kozachkov is a computational neuroscientist and engineering faculty member who investigates how minds emerge from networks of neurons and glia, currently serving as the Howard E. Zimmerman Assistant Professor of Engineering and Brain Science at Brown. With a PhD from MIT and a decade of experience spanning postdoctoral roles at MIT and IBM, he blends math, physics, and computer science to model learning and cognition in large-scale neural systems. His work bridges academic research and industry collaborations—including an IBM Goldstine fellowship and AI strategy advising—bringing theoretical rigor to practical AI and data problems. Beyond lab work, he has a track record of communicating complex ideas through writing and interdisciplinary projects, and has explored often-overlooked contributors to computation such as astrocytes.
