Sebastian Seung is the Anthony B. Evnin Professor in the Neuroscience Institute and Computer Science Department at Princeton University. His research has been influential in both the computer science and neuroscience fields. Starting in the late 2000s, he helped create the field of connectomics, applying deep learning and crowdsourcing to reconstruct neural circuits from electron microscopic brain images. In 2012 he launched Eyewire.org, a site that recruited over 300,000 players from 150 countries to a game to map neural connections. In 2018, he co-founded the FlyWire Consortium, which released the first connectome of the fruit fly brain in 2023. Sebastian’s book Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are was chosen by the Wall Street Journal as Top Ten Nonfiction of 2012. Before joining the Princeton faculty, Seung studied at Harvard University, worked at Bell Laboratories, and taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He chairs the Advisory Committee for the CIFAR Learning in Machines and Brains program, dubbed the cradle of the deep learning revolution. Seung served as President of Samsung Research from 2020 to 2022. He is External Member of the Max Planck Society, and winner of the 2008 Ho-Am Prize in Engineering.
