Background
- PhD Candidate at the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. Widely interested in understanding how the human brain works using computational models, specifically on recurrent models of the visual system, biologically-inspired learning rules, and deep learning theory. Recently, working on measuring similarity between individuals' neural responses and mapping between them. Also interested in the application and safe deployment of AI systems in the real world.
Miscellany
- Non-academic interests include alpine skiing, cycling, hiking, cooking, and an ever-increasing obsession with coffee.
