I'm delighted to announce that I'll join MIT EECS as an Assistant Professor next Fall! I will be recruiting graduate students this cycle, please apply if you're interested in the science of deep learning! Despite the ambient doomerism, now is a great time to do research.

Here's the obit I wrote about my dad John Kanwisher featuring that wonderful quote: www.the-scientist.com/marine-biolo...

Pleased to share my new preprint with @joshhmcdermott.bsky.social and Torsten Dau: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... ! It shows that many of the characteristic limits of human hearing emerge from perceptual representations optimized for everyday hearing behavior. [1/6]
