Bio: Daniel is a PhD student under the supervision of Kyunghyun Cho. Daniel was a research scientist at HHMI, Janelia Research Campus under the advisory of Dr. Kristin Branson. He has worked on building an artificial fly. They focus on the problem of modeling behavior of an organism as a whole, in particular locomotion and social behavior of Drosophila melanogaster. Previously, he was a researcher at the University of Montreal, MILA machine learning institute under the advisory of Prof. Yoshua Bengio and Dr. Roland Memisevic. He also received his Masters degree from the University of Guelph’s School of Engineering department under the advisory of Graham W. Taylor. His research interests during MILA and UoGuelph were postulating deep generative models and analyzing unsupervised representation learning models under the view of a dynamical system or probabilistic perspective. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto in 2012. He also completed a specialist program in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence Specialist and pursued Mathematics and its application specialist program. He is also CEO and founder of AIFounded.inc, and CTO and co-founder of Coinscious.inc.
