I’m an AI researcher at the Thousand Brains Project , an open-source initiative reverse engineering the neocortex to revolutionize artificial intelligence. I contribute to both theoretical development of cortical algorithms and Monty , our sensorimotor learning framework that implements brain-inspired computational principles.

Previously, I developed MorphNet at University of Michigan - a generative model combining GANs and diffusion techniques to predict neuron morphology from single-cell RNA-seq data, advancing our understanding of brain structure-function relationships.

I hold a Ph.D. in EECS from University of Michigan and B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. This site documents my exploration of intelligence at the intersection of brains and machines.
