Bio:

Tim Kim joined the Allen Institute and the University of Washington as a Shanahan Foundation Fellow in December 2024. He received his PhD in Neuroscience from Princeton University, where he worked with Carlos Brody and Jonathan Pillow. During his PhD, Tim developed unsupervised methods for discovering interpretable latent dynamics in high-dimensional neural data. Before that, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked with Joshua Gold. As a Shanahan Fellow, Tim is analyzing new neural population datasets at the Allen Institute, and developing data-driven methods to bridge different levels of description, from individual cell types to interactions between multiple brain regions and behavior.
