Computer Science and Cognitive Science at UCLA
Exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and human cognition, where technology meets the complexity of the mind.
I'm Megan Jacob, a Computer Science student at UCLA, also double majoring in Cognitive Science. I love learning about intelligent systems, both the human brain and computer driven. Currently, I'm focused on building cool products with AI and exploring the intersection of neurotech!
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring hiking trails, watching sunsets 🌅, or training in Taekwondo 🥋.
