Hello! I’m Morteza Ansarinia. I specialize in computer engineering and cognitive neuroscience and enjoy projects that have an impact on aligning machines to human cognition (or the other way around). My primary interest is resting-state brain–when the brain is not engaged in any specific cognitive task.

My PhD thesis emphasizes a computationally grounded perspective on cognitive control in the human brain.

I’m currently a researcher at the University of Luxembourg, developing tools for automated scientific workflows and data lakehouses, specifically designed for large-scale cognitive data.

In my free time, I’m building a quadruped robot in memory of my late cat, Malmeladov–who once slept among wolves and took down forty chicks in a day. The robot is intended to mimic mischievous feline behaviors.
