Hello! I’mMorteza (he/him). 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. I conducted my PhD in Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Luxembourg (Belval, Luxembourg) in partnership with Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig, Germany); my thesis,"Towards a Computational Model of General Cognitive Control Using Artificial Intelligence, Experimental Psychology, and Cognitive Neuroscience", emphasizes a computationally grounded perspective on cognitive control in the human brain (pdf ·a short video of my speech at some thesis award ceremony, starting at 53:00). I’m currently a researcher at the University of Luxembourg, developing tools for automated scientific workflows and data lakehouses, specifically designed for large-scale multimodal cognitive data.

• Human-like cognitive control
• Resting-state fMRI/EEG
• Large-scale computational cognitive models
• Behavioral cloning and alignment
• Natural language processing, ontologies, and knowledge engineering
