Manoosh Samiei
I am a PhD student in NeuroAI at McGill Computer Science and Mila, supervised by Professors Doina Precup and Paul Masset. I study the interplay between short- and long-term decision-making in the human brain using reinforcement learning and dopaminergic neuron modeling. Previously I worked for two years as a computer vision researcher and 3D reconstruction engineer at Algolux, a self-driving car software startup, and Magicplan, Sensopia Inc., an augmented reality mobile app which maps indoor environments.
I did my masters at McGill in Electrical and Computer Engineering , under the supervision of Prof. James J. Clark. I researched visual attention and distraction during visual search tasks, using deep learning and eye-tracking data to predict saliency.
I completed my undergraduate in Electrical Engineering at Shahid Beheshti University, focusing on telecommunications and signal processing. Also researched end-to-end lane following in autonomous vehicles using CNNs.
I'm passionate about cognitive science, AI, and healthcare applications.
