Biography

I am a machine learning (ML) Research Assistant at the LCFI working on aligning the assessment of cognitive abilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and human employees.

Before this, I completed an MSc in AI from Imperial College London’s Department of Computing. I conducted my thesis in the Adaptive and Intelligent Robotics Laboratory under Dr Antoine Cully. The project focused on leveraging the experience of so-called ‘ancestor’ robots to help ‘descendant’ robots to better adapt to unexpected situations.

I plan on doing a PhD in Computer Science and AI. I am especially interested in biologically inspired algorithms and how AI and ML can develop our understanding of the natural world, especially in neuroscience and cognitive science.

In my free time, I enjoy playing music, practising martial arts, and learning about various topics such as existential risk, machine consciousness, and embedded systems.
