I am a Ram and Vijay Shriram Data Science Fellow at Stanford Data Science, where I work with Prof. Russ Poldrack on the application of deep learning to functional neuroimaging data.
I am also affiliated with Stanford's Center for Open and Reproducible Science, Stanford's Center for Research on Foundation Models, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development.
🧠
I am interested in:
- Brain decoding
- Transfer learning
- Model interpretability & robustness
- Open science & reproducibility
