About Gabriel A. Silva
I am a professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) in Neurosciences and Bioengineering, where I lead a multidisciplinary research group that aims to understand how the brain works as an engineered system, how it differs in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, and how we can use what we learn for next-generation machine learning and machine inference. I am also the Founding Director of the Center for Engineered Natural Intelligence and the Associate Director of the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind. I hold the J. Robert Beyster Endowed Chair in Engineering In addition to my academic roles, I am a contributor to Forbes, where I write about neuroscience, the brain, and their intersection with technology, engineering, mathematics, and machine learning. I have also worked at Microsoft as a Consulting Researcher, working on projects related to neuromorphic computing and brain-inspired machine learning.
