Hi, I’m Dongyu Gong! I am currently a PhD student at Yale University.

Before coming to Yale, I was a PhD student at the University of Oxford. I moved to Yale after my advisor got a new position at Yale.

I am interested in both human intelligence and machine intelligence, especially how intelligence emerges from biological systems and artificial systems. I believe neuroscience and cogntive science will provide valuable insights for the development of autonomous machine intelligence with human-level cognitive abilities.

If you are also interested in NeuroAI (neuroscience for AI and AI for neuroscience), you might be interested in this list of NeuroAI/CompNeuro readings that I am updating regularly.

Before graduate school, I studied psychology and computer science at Tsinghua University and graduated with highest honors. A book chapter about me can be found in Youth Profiles of Tsinghua. An interview can be found on the website of Tsinghua University News.

In my leisure time, I enjoy playing tennis, running, travelling, and hiking. I also love sci-fi, photography, and piano music.
