Hi, I’m Ram Zaveri.

I work as a Research Assistant in the Vision and Learning Group, a research group at West Virginia University. We focus on new and fundamental problems and applications in computer vision and machine learning research and develop novel techniques for endowing machines with high-level visual processing capabilities, much like humans use their visual system for action.

About Me

I am a researcher with a background in Machine Learning and Computer Vision. I am passionate about investigating underlying principles behind learning and adaptability in biological systems to build Neuromimetic Artificial Systems. My professional goal is to bridge the gap between Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence to assist with neurological disorders or, rather, enhance our cognitive abilities.

Beyond that, I enjoy cooking, hiking, camping, reading, writing poems and science fiction, and listening to podcasts related to the Advancement of Human Civilization.
