Hung-Tu Chen

I am a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at Dartmouth, working with Matt van der Meer. My research broadly explores how biological and artificial networks learn and represent in cognitive tasks. Specifically, my work focuses on two key areas:

1. Replay mechanism in continual learning: how replay contributes to maintaining task representations and robust performance under distribution shift.
2. Hippocampal neural representations: how these representations generalize across related experiences, contributing to the learning and memory of adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.

Previously, I did research at the Flatiron Institute with Alex Williams and at NYU Shanghai with Jeff Erlich. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from National Tsing Hua University.
