Nick Alonso

I’m a PhD student studying machine learning and computational neuroscience at University of California, Irvine. My research uses ideas from neuroscience to improve learning in artificial neural networks and uses ideas from machine learning to develop theories of learning and memory in the brain. For more information see my CV, about page, or github.
