I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining Carnegie Mellon's (CMU) Machine Learning Department as an Assistant Professor this Fall!
My lab will work at the intersection of neuroscience & AI to reverse-engineer animal intelligence and build…
Really enjoyed speaking with Alison Snyder about the importance of studying embodied cognition in both neuroscience & AI!

This comes about a year and a half late -- but if you are interested in learning a bit more about how AI can help us understand questions in neuroscience, the official permanent url of my PhD Dissertation "A Goal-Driven Approach to Systems…
Ten years ago, I received a handwritten manuscript by Alan Turing’s only PhD student, Robin Gandy. He wrote it a couple years before passing away in 1995.
AFAIK, it’s never before been in print, so I typeset my copy & put it online here: h…

At the end (52:00), I discuss some heuristics for understanding natural intelligence that are suggested by the findings of the above two studies.
These include how to turn a connectome into a functional model, and why end-to-end RL approa…
My talk at MIT's Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM) is available now, titled "Using Embodied AI to help answer "why" questions in systems neuroscience".
I discuss how self-supervised learning of visual representations that are re…
The core points are:
1. mental simulation is relevant to a future latent space, but
2. this latent is highly constrained -- it doesn't appear to consist of bespoke object slots or pay attention to fine-grained details (e.g. pixelwise), bu…
