Biography

Hi, I’m Sashank! I am a machine learning scientist at Limbic, before which I was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University with Dr. Yael Niv. I am passionate about developing computational models to tackle complex real-world problems. I enjoy cross-disciplinary collaborations, making music and lifelong learning.

In my current work, I use principles from machine learning and computational psychiatry to help develop assistive tools for patients and clinicians throughout the care pathway. In my previous research, I studied the algorithmic inductive biases that allow humans and animals to learn efficiently in challenging environments, and the ways in which they may turn maladaptive in certain psychiatric conditions.
