Research Experience
  • Throughout my career I worked on computer vision, hierarchical reinforcement learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning and generative agent based modelling.
Background
  • I’m an AI research scientist and a meditator, based in London, UK. I’m a staff research scientist at Google DeepMind. Throughout my career I worked on computer vision, hierarchical reinforcement learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning and generative agent based modelling. My current interests are multi-agent systems, social cognition, computational social construction and cultural evolution. I'm also interested in bridging ideas in AI, social sciences, and social psychology.
Miscellany
  • I’m also a meditator and a contemporary Vajrayana practitioner. My practice is mostly based on Dzogchen and Tantra (Yidams) from Dzogchen perspective. I write about my practice, the places it takes me and how it relates to my life on substack. I'm part of the evolving Ground community.
