In my fall computational neuroscience internship, I synthesized neural populations with underlying geometric observables and studied their connection to regression computation. This would assist in developing a theory that connects neural population level geometry to computational performance in naturalistic and artificial neural networks.

I work at Professor SueYeon Chung's NeuroAI and Geometric Data Analysis group at the Center for Computational Neuroscience, Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation. The group develops mathematical theories for understanding how neurons collectively give rise to behavior in biological and artificial neural networks.Poster Title: Exploring The Geometry of.
