Hello there 🙂
I am Ashwin – an undergraduate student at Case Western Reserve University double majoring in Computer Science and Neuroscience. I work as a researcher at Cleveland Clinic, where I’m fortunate to be advised by Professor Carl Saab on EEG Predictive Models .
My research interests lie at the intersection of Neuroscience and AI Interpretability. I am invested in advancing mechanistic understanding of how LLM’s “Think”, and leveraging multimodal models to deepen our understanding of neurological phenomena.
As President of AI@CWRU and writer of ashneurotech, I’m passionate about delving deep into intricate and technical aspects of Artificial Intelligence!
