My name is Amir Harris, and I earned my MSc in Computer Engineering – Artificial Intelligence,with a thesis in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience. I am currently a Research Assistant in Dr. Sajad’s laboratory, where I study the computational and neural mechanisms underlying cognitive control, error monitoring, and adaptive decision-making.

My research combines computational modeling, neurophysiological data analysis, and behavioral experiments to investigate how the brain monitors performance, adjusts control, and learns from feedback in dynamic environments. In the long term, I aim to extend this line of research to better understand the neural dysfunctions underlying neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, bridging basic computational principles with clinical neuroscience.

Outside of research, I enjoy hiking, playing squash, playing guitar,and learning new languages — activities that continuously strengthen my problem-solving skills and fuel my passion for lifelong learning.
