Joshua Gold, Ph.D.

Gold is a neuroscientist whose training included studying mechanisms of learning as an undergraduate and graduate student and mechanisms of decision-making as a post-doctoral fellow. He currently is a professor of neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, where he combines his training experiences into studies of how learning and decision-making interact in the primate brain. He is also chair of the Neuroscience Graduate Group, co-director of the Computational Neuroscience Initiative and father of three teenage children, all of which reflect his deep commitment to mentoring, education and patience.
