Alperen Cimen

I recieved my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Ozyegin University in 2026. Currently, I am a PhD student in Psychological and Brain Sciences program. My research interests lie at the intersection of experimental and computational neuroscience. Specifically, I aim to develop a mechanistic understanding of how spatial navigation emerges from the dynamics of both biological and artificial neural networks. Outside the lab, you can often find me exploring nature, photographing Santa Barbara’s amazing views, or cycling along the coast.
