I am currently pursuing my PhD at the University of Sussex under the supervision of Dr. Dhruva Raman. I am funded by a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship programme called "be.AI - biomimetic embodied Artificial Intelligence." More details can be found at: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/ccnr/be_aiMy research focuses on normative models of cognition, emphasising the constraints and advantages that the brain encounters and leverages due to its situatedness within a body and environment rich in features and information. Following from the observation that the environment of the brain is dynamic and unpredictable, I am interested in deducing what features and principles the brain uses to maintain generalizability (leveraging compositionality) and adaptability (continual learning).A few research questions I am interested in are:--How does the interplay between the brain and its environment impact information processing?--How does the brain use/rely on its surroundings and inputs to perform computations?--How does the environment impact how the brain shifts between states?--What are approaches to investigate the action-perception loop in the brain and how it impacts brain dynamics?
Listed skills include Research, Data Analysis, Public Speaking, Teamwork, and 10 others.
