Rishab Kumar Jain Email & Phone Number

Hello, I'm Rishab! I am a rising sophomore at Harvard concentrating in Neuroscience. My profile background, perhaps unsurprisingly, is a drawing by Santiago Ramón y Cajal (ca. 1900). Asking existential questions about our existence brought me to neuroscience, and more specifically, to cognition. I am involved with research at Massachusetts General Hospital in utilizing computational methods — particularly machine learning and natural language processing — to understand one of our most fundamental cognitive abilities: language. Additionally, as I believe artificially intelligent systems will one day augment human cognitive abilities (and already are... check your pocket for an intelligence augmentation device we already use and depend on as a second brain), I am interested in AI ethics, Neuroethics, and AI safety.Along with my research and academic pursuits, I am the Chair of the Student Board of Advisors of the International Research Olympiad, an initiative to get more students interested in research. Analytical skills and critical thinking are everso important skills in the age of AI. We are currently opening thousands of research clubs in high schools around the world; if you are a student, check out internationalresearcholympiad.org. If you're looking to join or support our work, feel free to message me!In my free-time, I like making YouTube videos to, across two channels, 130,000 subscribers. My YouTube journey started in the 4th grade when I made Rubik's Cube tutorials. Since then, my interests have shifted to creating resources and guides for students interested in science research, but unsure of where to get started. I love teaching and mentoring!
