I am interested in
🧠 Artificial Intelligence
✨ Open-endedness
🦾 Robotics
🦎 Artificial Life
with a particular focus on learning to adapt to unforeseen situations in open-ended environments.
I am dedicated to breaking new ground in enabling robots to not just perform a task, but to acquire a breadth of general capabilities, mirroring the evolutionary adaptability found in nature. I also have interests in Metamathematics, Neuroscience and Consciousness.
Alongside my PhD studies, I teach both undergraduate and postgraduate students, Deep Learning, Mathematical Methods Tutorials and Python Programming, totaling 300 hours/year. My responsibilities include lecturing, conducting tutorials and workshops, developing and grading coursework, and managing modules.
I am also an organizer of the Imperial College Autonomous Reasoning & Learning (ICARL) seminar series
- Each month, ICARL hosts a seminar series at Imperial College London, where we invite Artificial Intelligence researchers to give a presentation about their work.
- I am responsible for the setup of the lecture theatre and technical equipment (microphones, video cameras, online meeting and so on) to ensure high-quality recordings for our YouTube channel.
