Rabia Gondur

I am a Master's student with a background in machine learning, data science, neurolinguistics and neuroscience. Currently I am a Computational Research Scientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory working on building machine learning models to better understand the underlying computations of the brain. Previously, I was a student researcher at Fordham University at the Keeley Lab, working at the intersection of machine learning and neuroscience. My research focused on jointly understanding the relationship between neural activity and behavior. We used deep latent variable models and Gaussian processes to develop a novel framework to understand this relationship better. I did my undergraduate degree on integrative neuroscience with a concentration in cellular and molecular neuroscience. I completed my senior research at the ELM lab for language and multilingualism at Fordham on the effects of familial sinistrality on language processing. I am interested in deep learning, LVMs , Gaussian processes and generative models.
