About

Hi! I'm Sudarsh. I'm an incoming freshman at Caltech, where I'm likely going to major in Computational Neuroscience, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Applied Math.

What I want to do

I want to do cool, hard things. Some of the cool, hard things that I'm interested in right now are

• Neuromorphic computing
• Precise, macro-scale manufacturing
• Better interpretability work on animal brains
• Stateful AI models

Things you can talk to me about!

Cognition

• How do language models update their world model based on context?
• Our brains likely work through making a prediction, and updating based on prediction error. Is this due to sending information back being more expensive, and why?
• Do neurons use backpropogation (current prior: probably not)? If not, what else do they use?
• Why are our brains so unusually sparse? (current hypothesis: energy conservation)
• We can use diffusion models & language models to approximate some amount of human behavior. How far can we push this?

Learning

• How do I learn outside of the framework of university & structured education?
• Where can we find rigor?
