Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSatchel Grant is a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford with nine years of experience blending computational neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI to build interpretable, multi-modal self-supervised models for brain–machine interfacing and AI safety. His work spans deep learning research and hands-on systems: from developing novel convolutional layers that improved retinal modeling accuracy to engineering a custom 2D rodent virtual reality platform and PyTorch infrastructure. A recent research internship at the Flatiron Institute produced a method for directly optimizing manifold capacity, reflecting his interest in geometric approaches to neural representation. Comfortable in both research and implementation, he codes in Python/PyTorch and Unity/C#, and brings a rare mix of experimental hardware skills and theoretical modeling to translational neuroscience problems.
