I am a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL’s NeuroAI Lab headed by Martin Schrimpf. My research sits at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning: I build and evaluate artificial neural network models of the brain and behavior, and use these models to design targeted causal interventions in biological neural systems.
