Hi, I’m Yuki Minai
I am an ML & neurotech engineer, developing ML-driven neuroscience technology to augment human capacity. Currently, I am a PhD student in Neural Computation and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Prof. Byron Yu and Prof. Matthew Smith.
My current research focus is the development of a closed-loop brain stimulation framework to induce desired brain states. I combine a wide range of ML techniques (such as reinforcement learning, deep learning, and latent variable models) to develop a brain stimulation framework that adaptively update brain stimulation parameters in real-time.
In the long term, I am passionate about making sociatal impacts by developing ML-driven neuroscience technologies to improve our lives. While the current applications of neuroscience technologies are largely within the medical field, I believe in a future where these innovations enhance human capacity and transform our lives for the better in diverse ways. My current research project is my first step toward realizing this vision.
