Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMario Negrello is an Associate Professor in NeuroAI with a PhD (summa cum laude) in Cognitive Science and a background in mechanical engineering, blending hands-on engineering sensibilities with computational neuroscience. Over nearly two decades he has transitioned from industry at VW to leading research groups and postdocs across Germany, the US, and Japan, and now directs NeuroAI research at Erasmus MC. His work spans machine learning, evolutionary and developmental robotics, artificial life, and neuroethology, and he authored the Springer monograph Invariants of Behavior. Notably, his research has included evolving neural controllers for autonomous robots and a visiting scholarship with Hod Lipson at Cornell, showing a long-standing interest in embodied intelligence. Colleagues describe him as a cognitive computational neuroscientist who bridges empirical experiments and theoretical models to uncover principles of behavior. Based in Breda, he brings a rare mix of engineering pragmatism, evolutionary computation expertise, and formal neuroscience rigor to translational NeuroAI problems.
