Hi there ๐ I'm Yash,
Hi! I'm a PhD student in Computational Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University
. I'm interested in applications of deep learning and cognitive science in healthcare. I am currently working with Mick Bonner. I was also a visiting PhD student at Harvard Medical School
, supervised by Pranav Rajpurkar. Throughout my academic journey, I have gained valuable experience in various domains, including transformers, LLMs, neuroscience, and cognition.
