Jathurshan Pradeepkumar

Computer Science PhD Candidate @ UIUC

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Jimeng Sun. I am also working closely with Prof. Zheng Chen, and Prof. David Liebovitz. My current research focuses on:

  • Representation Learning and Multimodal Modeling for EEG and Biosignals (Primary)
  • Deep Learning for Cancer Care and Clinical Trials

EEG & Biosignal Representation Learning Sensor/EEG Language Models Biosignal Tokenization Multimodal AI AI for Healthcare Cancer Care
🔍 Seeking Summer 2026 Internship — Open to research-focused roles in AI for healthcare. Feel free to reach out, if you have any recruitment openings. Let's connect!
