Top School

Xiaoxuan Jia is an associate professor and systems/computational neuroscientist with 12 years of experience at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning, currently leading research at Tsinghua University. Previously a senior scientist at the Allen Institute, she co-led the Visual Coding Brain Observatory—Neuropixels effort and helped produce widely used public datasets and analysis code. Her work blends theory-driven models with large-scale electrophysiology to reveal how visual information is represented and dynamically routed across mammalian cortex. Earlier training at MIT and a PhD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine underpin a strong foundation in computational vision, unsupervised learning, and psychophysics. She also founded a BCI startup from the MIT IMPACT incubator, translating neural oscillation and feedback insights into anxiety-control interfaces. Colleagues note her rare combination of rigorous theory, hands-on dataset engineering, and an entrepreneurial drive to apply basic science.
