Gashon Hussein

I'm a student at Stanford studying Computer Science and Philosophy.

I'm currently a researcher at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab — working on developing expressive hidden representations for state-space models with test-time training. In the past, I worked on training large protein language models.
