Nicolas Zucchet

I am a first year PhD student in the group of Prof. Dr. Angelika Steger, under the supervision of João Sacramento. Prior to this I received my Master's degree from ETH Zürich in computer science in 2021 and my bachelor in applied mathematics from École polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) in 2019. My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience: I try to understand how artificial and biological networks can learn to quickly adapt to new challenges.
