Andrii Zahorodnii Email and Phone Number
I earned my undergraduate degree and am currently a master’s student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Computer Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences. As both an engineer and neuroscientist, trained at Guangyu Robert Yang’s MetaConscious Group and Fiete Lab at MIT, I am passionate about using AI to uncover insights into human cognition, leading to more informed, empathetic, and effective global decision-making and policy. Besides driving the exchange of ideas as a TEDxMIT organizer, I strive to empower and inspire brilliant future leaders internationally, as well as in Ukraine through the Ukraine Leadership and Technology Academy, which I founded. I am from Ukraine.

Student ResearcherMcgovern Institute For Brain Research Feb 2024 - PresentCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesMIT Fiete Lab (Prof. Ila Fiete)Project 1. Investigating how humans (and AI systems) can extract discrete objects and concepts from continuous sensory input streams and manipulate them in working memory.Project 2. This work addresses issues of misaligned incentives, delays, and limited access in current scientific journals. Develop a next generation open peer review platform through incentive engineering; discover algorithms to reliably assess the quality of scientific papers based on noisy evaluations from individual reviewers. -
Undergraduate ResearcherMcgovern Institute For Brain Research Jun 2022 - Feb 2024Cambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesMIT MetaConscious Group (P.I. Guangyu Robert Yang)Mechanistically interpreted the infinite space of mechanisms that neural networks can use to prevent new sensory inputs from overwriting memories. Proposed that flexibly combining multiple mechanisms is a common strategy. Analyzing monkey brain data, identified differences in strategies of artificial and biological neural networks.
