Sunny Duan

PhD, BCS

I am a graduate student in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences department at MIT. I am interested in how neural dynamics implement computation within the brain in the context of perception and control.

Before joining the Fiete Lab, I studied computer engineering as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and subsequently worked as a Software Engineer for several years at Google and Deepmind. I’ve worked on various projects ranging from systems engineering for network ASICs to RL for Datacenter cooling. I became interested in neuroscience while studying algorithms for disentangling representations.

In my free time, I enjoy running along the Charles and playing tennis.
