Nick Turk-Browne, PhD

Wu Tsai Institute, Yale University

Nick Turk-Browne is Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neurosurgery, and Director of the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University. He previously served on the faculty at Princeton University (2009-2017) and obtained degrees from Yale University in cognitive psychology (PhD, 2009) and from the University of Toronto in cognitive science and artificial intelligence (HBSc, 2004). His research uses behavioral, neural, computational, and developmental approaches to understand the learning mechanisms that transform perceptual experiences into lasting memories. His lab has been supported by the NIH, NSF, Templeton Foundation, McDonnell Foundation, Intel Labs, and Meta Reality Labs. He was honored with early-career awards from the American Psychological Association (2015), Vision Sciences Society (2016), Cognitive Neuroscience Society (2017), and Society of Experimental Psychologists (2018), and he is a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (since 2016).
