Gabriel Kreiman

Gabriel Kreiman is a researcher and AI company founder whose work connects human vision and memory with AI. He earned a Licenciado in physical chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires in 1996, an M.S. and Ph.D. at Caltech in 2002, completed postdoctoral training at MIT, and joined Harvard Medical School as a professor in 2007. He coauthored a 2000 study of category-specific neural responses and a 2020 predictive video model, published Biological and Computer Vision in 2021, and received NIH and NSF career awards in 2009 and 2010. In October 2025, he was a professor at Harvard Medical School and the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines, and the CEO of Memorious. As of October 2026, he is Engramme’s co-founder and CEO, building AI for human memory and recall.

Timeline

  1. 1996–2002

    Degrees in Buenos Aires and California

    In 1996, he earns a Licenciado in physical chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires. In 2002, he completes an M.S. in computation and neural systems and a Ph.D. in biology at Caltech under Christof Koch. His doctoral thesis examines neural activity during object recognition, visual imagery and binocular rivalry.

  2. 2000

    Category-specific firing in human neurons

    In 2000, he coauthors a study that reports category-specific firing in individual neurons in the human medial temporal lobe.

  3. 2007

    Professor at Harvard Medical School

    He completes postdoctoral training at MIT and becomes a professor at Harvard Medical School in 2007.

  4. 2009–2010

    NIH and NSF career awards

    He receives the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award in 2009 and the NSF CAREER Award in 2010.

  5. 2020–2021

    Predictive vision and a book

    In 2020, he coauthors a recurrent generative network trained to predict future video frames in a self-supervised manner. In 2021, he publishes Biological and Computer Vision, a book about visual processing, cognition and biologically inspired AI.

  6. October 2025

    Harvard professor and Memorious CEO

    In October 2025, he is a professor at Harvard Medical School and the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines, and the founder and CEO of Memorious. His research focuses on computational neuroscience and AI approaches to vision, learning and memory.

  7. By April 2026

    AI memory at Engramme

    By April 2026, he describes founding Engramme as a move outside academia to build AI that augments human memory at scale.

  8. As of October 2026

    CEO of Engramme

    He is Engramme’s co-founder and CEO, developing AI for human memory and recall.
