Tejasvi Kothapalli
I am a second-year Vision Science PhD student at UC Berkeley. I am in the Active Vision and Neural Computation Lab
and advised by Professor Jacob Yates. I am also a part of the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience directed by Professor Bruno Olshausen.
I am incredibly grateful to be able to collaborate with Professor Alex Huk and Postdoctoral Scholar Declan Rowley, working alongside them to study the neural recordings they collect from primates.
I work at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, an area known as NeuroAI.
I am generously funded by the CIVO Fellowship.
I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. As an undergrad, I was
a student research assistant jointly at the Clinical Research Center (CRC),
International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR).
There, I had the pleasure of working with Prof. Meng Lin, Prof. Stella Yu,
and Dr. Peter Wang. My research focused on applying computer vision and machine learning techniques to diagnose Dry Eye Disease.

Senior Honors Thesis: Studying Dry Eye Syndrome with Machine Learning
Tejasvi Kothapalli
Senior Honors Thesis, 2022
thesis
Studied Dry Eye Disease diagnosis with machine learning in two regimes: (1) patient tabular data and (2) ocular surface recordings.
Advised by Prof. Stella Yu and
Prof. Meng Lin. Earned an A+ :). Also, huge thanks to Peter Wang for all
the mentorship and guidance.
