Zhuofan Josh Ying

I'm a third-year PhD student in the Visual Inference Lab at Columbia University, supervised by Prof. Nikolaus Kriegeskorte.

Previously, I received my B.A. in Computer Science and Philosophy from UNC Chapel Hill. Before that, I briefly pursued a B.S. in Physics at USTC.

I'm generally interested in Computational Neuroscience, Philosophy of Mind, and AI Safety. Throughout my undergrad, I had the privilege to work with Prof. Elias Issa, Prof. Mohit Bansal, Prof. Jia Liu, and Prof. Gabriel Kreiman.
