Udith Haputhanthri I am Udith Haputhanthri, an Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student at Princeton University working with Professor Jonathan Cohen . My current work and interests span computational cognitive science (e.g., visual reasoning in humans and machines), computational neuroscience (e.g., the biological neural basis of learning and representation), and machine learning (e.g., mechanistic interpretability, AI alignment). Previously, I was a visiting student researcher in the Schnitzer Group at Stanford University and a post-baccalaureate fellow at the Center for Advanced Imaging at Harvard University. At Stanford, I worked with Professor Mark Schnitzer and Fatih Dinc on understanding neural computation, learning, and memory in biological brains by modeling large-scale mouse neural data. At Harvard, I worked with Dr. Hidenori Tanaka on biologically inspired learning in recurrent neural networks and with Dr. Dushan Wadduwage on computational microscopy. I earned my B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, in 2022, with First Class honors. Outside academia, I enjoy chess, music, and playing instruments. I also have a passion for freestyle wrestling. |
