Hi! I’m Mani – I am a (soon to be) graduate of the University of Toronto, majoring in computer science and cognitive science. I have a variety of research interests in different avenues of cognitive science, but mainly they involve joining artificial intelligence methods with ideas in psychology/neuroscience to make it more biologically plausible. My research with Prof. Mekik specifically focuses on improving the alignment between symbolic and connectionist representations in the ACS of the Clarion architecture. Outside of research, I often play chess and am an avid pianist!
