Professor of mathematics in radiology and neuroscience
Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University

Amy Kuceyeski is professor of mathematics in radiology and neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University. Her lab uses computational approaches, including biophysical models and artificial intelligence, to model the brain’s functional and structural networks and map brain networks to behavioral outcomes in health and disease. Her goals are to understand how the brain works and, specifically, how it breaks in disease and how it is repaired in recovery. Kuceyeski earned her Ph.D. at Case Western Reserve University, after which she came to Weill Cornell Medicine’s Department of Radiology as a postdoctoral fellow and never left. Her lab now spans Cornell’s campuses from New York City to Ithaca.

Tom Griffiths describes how neural networks, logic and probability theory together explain cognition

In his new book, “The Laws of Thought,” Griffiths shows how these three pillars of study complement one another and together form a solid foundation to eventually explain all of our cognition, from brain to mind.
