Caesar Dai
Hi, my name is Xufeng Caesar Dai (戴旭丰, Daì Xù Fēng).
I'm a first-year CS PhD student at University of Washington advised by
Rajesh Rao. My work will be at the intersection of
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and AI. I'm currently trying to figure out what exactly I want to work on...
I've been fortunate to work with some wonderful mentors! Before UW, I was a post-bacc RA at Brown University
with Matt Nassar, studying learning, memory, and decision making.
Dianna Xu introduced me to the world of CS and guided my senior thesis during my
undergrad time at Haverford College, where I earned a B.S. in CS and Math. I also had the chance to work with
David Mount and Auguste Gezalyan
through the REU-CAAR Program. I’m grateful to be supported by a
NSF CISE Graduate Fellowship.
I love to meet smart and passionate people :) feel free to reach me at
