About
Greta works in the intersection of neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI. She received her Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT. Prior to that, she completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Copenhagen.
Research Focus
Greta studies how language is processed in the human brain and in artificial neural networks. Her research broadly follows three directions. First, she works to precisely characterize the neural architecture and functions that support language processing in the human brain. Second, she investigates whether the human brain and artificial networks share representations and computational principles during language processing. Third, she develops biologically inspired artificial networks that learn language in more human-like ways. Collectively, these three directions inform one another, advancing our understanding of how language serves as an efficient interface to a wide range of downstream behaviors in both biological and artificial systems.
