Tejasvi Kothapalli
I am a second-year Vision Science PhD student at UC Berkeley. I am in the 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 work at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, an area known as NeuroAI.
I am generously funded by the CIVO Fellowship.
I was previously a student research assistant jointly at UC Berkeley's Clinical Research Center (CRC) and
the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI).
There I worked with Prof. Meng Lin, Prof. Stella Yu,
and Peter Wang.
I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.

I've taken a lot of UC Berkeley's undergraduate and graduate machine learning courses
and I have written my reviews of the courses here.
I draw a lot of academic and life inspiration from my brother Abhiram Kothapalli.
He just completed his PhD at Carnegie Mellon University and is now a postdoc at Berkeley! He studies cryptography.
I also love Dragon Boating,
Ultimate Frisbee,
Power Lifting,
Running, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
