Agentic AI ◇ Creative Systems ◇ Reinforcement Learning ◇ Robotics
Hi! I’m a Ph.D. candidate with Professor Jürgen Schmidhuber at the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research; an occasional visiting researcher at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology; and the Chief Technology Officer of PALcares, a non-profit data science startup. During my Ph.D., I have interned twice as a Research Scientist at Meta. I previously completed my M.Sc. under the supervision of Professor Richard Sutton of the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. During my M.Sc., I served for a year as the Vice-President Academic of the Graduate Students’ Association.
I’m broadly interested in Machine Learning, but most of my research focuses on topics related to Agentic AI, Creative Systems, Reinforcement Learning, and Robotics. You can find a list of my publications here.
When my research gives me a free moment, you can often find me working to become a better amateur photographer. You can check out my portfolio here.
