Dr. Lana Sinayapen, PhD

​

“I am a recent PhD graduate specializing in Artificial Intelligence (Perception, Predictive Coding) and Artificial Life (Open Endedness, Evolutionary dynamics). My MS and PhD research focused on developing new algorithms for perception. I also have an engineering degree. I have a million of research interests and therefore a million projects, but I officially work on trying to understand things (mainly Intelligence and Life) by building them.”

“At a time when a lot of us can work remotely, and collaborate in teams that span the entire globe, the value of computer science labs as physical spaces can be rethought and explored.”
