About
Grayson Martin graduated from Harvard College in May 2025 with an A.B. in Computer Science and secondary in Mathematical Sciences. As an undergraduate, he studied a variety of topics related to learning and intelligence because of his interest in robotics, perception, and decision-making. He also served as the Director of Data Journalism for The Harvard Crimson. Grayson grew up in the small town of Dante, VA in central Appalachia. Before moving to Cambridge, he co-founded Medentum Innovations, Inc., a medical device startup focused on using machine learning to lower rural health disparities through improved telehealth diagnoses.
Research Focus
Grayson’s current research focuses on developing biologically constrained computational models of the mouse brain through modular components. These modular components, once integrated, should produce an agent that mimics mouse behavior in ethologically relevant tasks. A core component of the model is the flexibility to change how different modules interact with each other or interchange modules altogether to test how brain-region models and their connections impact agent behavior. Grayson is especially interested in how the agent perceives its environment and selects actions based on this perception.
