Ask HN: How to break into CS research?

Hey HN, you’ve always been excellent advisors so I wanted to get at your thoughts.

I’m a student completing my master’s in CS from Georgia Tech and my master’s in computational biology from Harvard. I have two 4.0 GPAs, and have been trying to get research opportunities in ML/RL/Theoretical Neuroscience because I’m absolutely fascinated. Unfortunately, I have a non traditional background with no research experience, and most professor’s don’t really give me an opportunity or even respond. I have a lot of product and entrepreneurship experience, and I really got deeper into theory in recent years. Are there ways I can get into research with this background? I’d like to eventually be able to get a PhD or do a residency.

I really appreciate the advice.
