About Me
Welcome! I will be starting the NeuroAgents lab in Fall 2024 as an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon’s Machine Learning Department! We will work at the intersection of neuroscience & AI to reverse-engineer animal intelligence and build the next generation of autonomous agents. Learn more here.
Feel free to email me if you’re interested or want to collaborate! I’m able to advise PhD students who are either in any department in CMU’s School of Computer Science or are in the Neural Computation program. For prospective students: Please apply to any of those two programs and list me as a potential advisor in your application. I am *not* hiring for remote opportunities at this time.
Previously, I was an ICoN Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, primarily working with Guangyu Robert Yang and Mehrdad Jazayeri. I completed my PhD (thesis & recording) in the Stanford Neurosciences Program, co-advised by Dan Yamins and Surya Ganguli. Before that, I completed my Master’s in Computer Science (AI Specialization), as well as my undergraduate major in Mathematics (with a secondary degree in Symbolic Systems), at Stanford University. During that time, I did work in theoretical computer science and other areas of math. My Erdős number is 3.
