 
Tomaso Poggio is a computational neuroscientist whose recent work focuses
on the processes by which the brain learns to recognize and categorize
visual objects. His work is important not only towards understanding higher
brain function, but also for the mathematical and computer applications
of statistical learning.
Poggio is Eugene McDermott Professor in the Department of Brain
and Cognitive Sciences and at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
He is also Co-Director of the Center for Biological and Computational
Learning and was appointed Investigator immediately after the establishment
of the McGovern Institute in 2000. He joined the MIT faculty in 1981,
after ten years at the Max Planck Institute for Biology and Cybernetics
in Tubingen, Germany. He received a Ph.D. in 1970 from the University
of Genoa. Poggio is a Foreign Member of the Italian Academy of Sciences
