Hey! I’m Chirayu. I’m currently a senior studying computer science Princeton with minors in Applied & Computational Mathematics and Statistics & ML.

I’m most interested in reinforcement learning, particularly in the goal-conditioned and multi-agent settings. I’m interested in answering: How do we build AI systems that discover and leverage universal principles the way humans do?

In the past, I’ve worked at the intersection of cognitive science and ML, ultra-low-field MRIs, and creating accurate brain/head models. See more projects.
