Congratulations to Dr Zhang Mengmi for being recognised as an honouree of the
Singapore Women in Tech 2023 List. Organised by the Singapore Computer Society (SCS),
in partnership with SG Women in Tech and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the Singapore 100 Women in Tech List celebrates women who have made significant contributions to tech in Singapore.
This year's theme, "Empowering yourselves, inspiring others," spotlights role models who are driving a more inclusive digital economy and nurturing tech talent.
 | Dr Zhang Mengmi is an Early Career Investigator at A*STAR’s Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR). Prior to this, she was a postdoc with Gabriel Kreiman at Harvard Medical School from 2019 – 2021. As the Principal Investigator
of the Deep Neurocognition Lab, Dr Zhang’s research interests lie at the intersection of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI). She is currently leading her team to work on research topics addressing two key
challenges: 1) teaching machines to learn like humans; and 2) using AI to predict and augment human cognition, including attention, memory, reasoning, lifelong learning and psychological states. |
Dr Zhang’s contributions to advancing research in zero-shot visual search and contextual reasoning have earned her many prestigious grants, such as the National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellowship and AI Singapore (AISG) research grant. In
addition, she has also published in top AI conferences, such as ICCV, CVPR, and NeurIPS, as well as top scientific journals, including Nature Communications, among others.
