About Prof. Murthy:
Murthy came to Harvard University as an Assistant Professor in 1999 and is now the Raymond Leo Erikson Life Sciences Professor of Molecular & Cellular Biology, as well as the Paul J. Finnegan Family Director of the Center for Brain Science. His research aims to shed light on how collections of neurons in the brain process information and give rise to behaviors, with a current emphasis on the sense of smell. He is keenly interested in the connections between artificial intelligence and brain science, and teaches an undergraduate course titled “Artificial and Natural Intelligence.” More about Venkatesh Murthy can be found in this piece from Current Biology Magazine.
