Thomas Serre is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences at Brown. Originally from France, he received a master degree in EECS from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne (Brest, France) in 2000 and a PhD in computational neuroscience from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2006. His research seeks to understand the brain mechanisms underlying the recognition of objects and complex visual scenes using a combination of behavioral, imaging and physiological techniques, which are supported by rigorous computational models.
