Co-Founder, Phasor | PhD Candidate in Neuromorphic Computing | Building Energy-Efficient AI Inspired by the Brain. I'm bridging cutting-edge research and real-world impact thmrough two parallel tracks:As co-founder of Project PHASOR, I lead a multi-institutional research startup advancing neuromorphic computing developing brain-inspired AI systems that achieve 40-60% energy savings compared to traditional neural networks.As a PhD candidate at Saint Louis University, I conduct research at the AI and Robotics Lab on spiking neural networks, hybrid neuromorphic-LLM architectures, and mechanistic interpretability in AI systems.My work is grounded in the NIH BRAIN Initiative's NeuroAI community, where I collaborate with researchers translating neuroscience insights into computational innovations. I've spoken at Congressional briefings on brain-inspired AI, helping shape policy around energy-efficient. I'm committed to making advanced AI technologies more sustainable and accessible globally through both rigorous academic research and entrepreneurial action. Currently exploring: the future of energy-efficient Cognitive AI.
