Academic Achievements
  • Published a perspective article on how agents can develop open-ended capabilities in rich socio-cultural environments.
Research Experience
  • Currently working at MIT with Joshua Tenenbaum and Jacob Andreas, developing autotelic agents that learn from humans and others using program synthesis methods.
Education
  • PhD: Flowers Lab; Supervisors: Pierre-Yves Oudeyer and Olivier Sigaud; Thesis: Towards Vygotskian Autotelic Agents: Learning Skills with Goals, Language and Intrinsically Motivated Deep Reinforcement Learning.
Background
  • Research Interests: artificial open-ended learning and computational creativity; Specialization: intrinsically motivated agents (autotelic agents), skill discovery in rich socio-cultural environments.
Miscellany
  • Beyond his research, he explores creative applications of algorithms through various side projects.
