SYS.REF // COGNITIVE-INSPIRED ARCHITECTURES
I am currently a Founding Engineer at a [STEALTH STARTUP] where I predominately develop cognitive-inspired ML systems. Our research predominantly revolves around Representation Learning, Novel ML Algorithms, and Mechanistic Interpretability.
My research Interests lie in Neuro-Symbolic AI, specifically in cognitive-inspired systems that learn continuously from few examples, grow their own concept hierarchies the way people do, and stay explainable and interpretable at every layer.
I also enjoy deploying Edge AI to see how far we can push local compute to aid those in the field.
