Background
  • Currently a PhD student at EPFL, working on NeuroAI with Prof. Martin Schrimpf.
  • Interested in artificial intelligence, especially how current machine learning methods can achieve active perception and learning in the real world.
  • Believes this research lies at the intersection of computational neuroscience, computational cognitive science, and machine learning.
  • Inspired by the work of James J. Gibson and Peter Dayan, and believes machine learning will advance their theories or be guided by them.
  • Currently working on building models for dynamic perceptual representation based on state-of-the-art representation learning methods (e.g., JEPA, MAE) and brain recordings during video watching.
