Terry Sejnowski

Terrence Joseph Sejnowski is a neuroscientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and since 2004 Francis Crick Professor at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he directs the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory. He is also Professor of Biological Sciences and Adjunct Professor at the University of California, San Diego.

Sejnowski studied physics at Case Western Reserve University and Princeton University, and in 1978 the Ph.D. his doctorate at Princeton University.

In 1982 he became a professor at the Department of Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University before moving to San Diego in 1988.

Sejnowski is president of the Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation, the NIPS Conference held annually.

Together with Geoffrey Hinton, he invented the Boltzmann machine and delivered pioneering work in the development of learning algorithms NETtalk. In 2013 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
