Chaitanya Kapoor

I am a post-baccalaureate research assistant at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Meenakshi Khosla. My work focuses on understanding the underlying neural representations of biological and artifical neural networks.

At present, I am also being mentored by Prof. Talmo Pereira at the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences, where I am working on the development of pose estimation methods for quantification of animal behavior.

I recently graduated from BITS Pilani, majoring in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I was also a visiting student at the Senseable Intelligence Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Satrajit Ghosh, where I completed my undergraduate thesis.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Deep Learning and Neuroscience. Through this lens, my aim is to design biologically-constrained neural networks by reverse engineering underlying neural computations in mammalian brains.
