NoteThe source confirms Dario Amodei has a PhD from Princeton University and an MS from Princeton University. However, the source does not specify the field of study for either degree. The claim states the PhD is in 'Computational Neuroscience,' but the Wikipedia source only lists 'PhD' without specifying the discipline. The thesis title suggests a neuroscience focus, but 'Computational Neuroscience' as the specific field is not explicitly stated in the source text.
