Qihong Lu

Hi, my name is Qihong Lu (吕其鸿). I'm interested in computational models of episodic memory. I'm currently an Alan Kanzer Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University, working with Daphna Shohamy, and Stefano Fusi. I am affiliated with Center for Theoretical Neuroscience and The Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute.

I received my PhD in Cognitive Psychology at Princeton University, where I worked on neural network models of optimal policies for episodic memory with Ken Norman and Uri Hasson. I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I worked with Tim Rogers. I originally came from Shanghai, China.
