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 neuroscience.

I’m also a meditator and a Vajrayana practitioner and I write about it on substack.
