Dr. Amirsaman Sajad received his B.Sc. in Human Biology and Physics from the University of Toronto (Canada). With the determination to pursue a career in science, he completed his Ph.D. at the Center for Vision Research, York University (Canada), under the supervision of Prof. Douglas Crawford, where he investigated the primate gaze control system. Building on his growing interest in cognitive neuroscience, he pursued postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Prof. Jeffrey Schall at Vanderbilt University, supported by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fellowship, where he examined the neural mechanisms of cognitive control. He was subsequently promoted to Research Assistant Professor, expanding his work to computational models of decision-making to develop a more rigorous framework for studying complex cognitive functions. Driven by a passion for translating basic science into real-world applications, Dr. Sajad joined the International Center for Primate Brain Research (ICPBR) in 2025 to lead the laboratory of Computations of Cognition and Control (C3) . His research group focuses on the neural mechanisms and non-invasive biomarkers of computations underlying cognitive control in dynamic and uncertain environments.
