I am a 4th year PhD student in HDSI. I use RNN models to decipher the neural code in the brain. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading. A fun fact about me is that it's my 4th year in US and I've been to 13 states!

My name is Jake Ryan, I'm a 2nd Year PhD Student focused on feature learning in deep learning models. When I'm not working, I enjoy snowboarding and sci-fi books. My (not so) fun fact is that I've now been a student at UCSD for 7 years (I did my undergrad here).

I'm a second-year master's student working on using wearable data to better understand health patterns. Outside of school, I enjoy playing soccer, and a fun fact about me is that I help run a high ropes course through UCSD Recreation.
