Arjun Puri

Computational Neuroscientist (prev. Software Engineer)

I'm a master's student at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin. Previously, I spent 8 years building distributed systems as a Staff Engineer at Plaid. I hold degrees in Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University.

Research Interests

I'm interested in how biophysical networks of neurons represent and process information — particularly memory, and how attractor dynamics give rise to it (the Hopfield network is a favorite). I also think a lot about motion perception and the bridge between biological and artificial neural networks.
