Jack Stanley
I'm a PhD student at McGill University and Mila AI Institute.
I have an interest in pursuing antedisciplinary science in biological and pure machine learning contexts. The two require similar modes of thinking. I am supervised by Dr. Danilo Bzdok, a Canada CIFAR AI Chair.
Prior to McGill I completed an Honours BSc in statistics and biochemistry at the University of Toronto, where I was fortunate to receive both a Schulich Leader Scholarship and a BMO National Scholarship. Before that I grew up in Victoria, British Columbia.
