I am interested in research questions at the intersection of deep learning, theoretical neuroscience, the nature of intelligence, and neurotechnology.

Using machine learning with a genetic algorithm to concurrently optimize the electric machine power command and fuel flow acceleration schedule for an updated, higher fidelity version of the AGTF30 electrified gas turbine engine model.

Supervised Dynamical Components Analysis
Neural Systems and Machine Learning Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Building off of previous work on Dynamic Components Analysis that explicitly maximizes the dynamic complexity in the data using predictive information, rather than variance like traditional PCA, to find subspaces of past neural data that have maximal mutual information with subspaces of future behavior data.
