My name is Nedah. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Columbia University and Principle Investigator (PI) on the NSF funded project, Scientific Outcomes from AI tools and Models. 

From 2022-2025, I was the Robert A. Burt Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience at Columbia's Center for Science and Society. I received my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh and hold an MSc in biological sciences from the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). 

I'm a philosopher of neuroscience and spend much of my time in the Tosches Lab and Kelley Lab. My research examines how tools used in evolutionary and computational neuroscience shape our understanding of human and nonhuman animal behavior. My current project, supported by the NSF, centers on the impacts of AI on behavioral ontology in neuroscience and builds on a phenomenological framework of “lived experience” that I’ve been developing — research you can read more about here.
