I am currently a Swartz postdoctoral fellow in computational neuroscience at the University of Washington, mentored by Dr. Eric Shea-Brown and Dr. Adrienne Fairhall. Previously, I earned my PhD from the University of California, San Diego, under the supervision of Dr. Terrence Sejnowski at the Salk Institute.
My research centers on uncovering the learning trajectories in neural network models and cognitive latents through Bayesian inference methods. I primarily study foraging tasks, from random walks to social collaborative foraging.
Besides lab research, I’m broadly interested in AI algorithms, learning theories and puzzles. During the years, I accumulated pages of research notes and side projects and equivalently two M.S. degrees! I’m posting them here so that they don’t have to go through the painful and lengthy review process to qualify as publications.
