Hi there! I am a Research Scientist and founding member at Sakana.AI where I build nature-inspired methods for the LLM era. More specifically, I work on leveraging foundation models to augment and automate the scientific discovery process 🧑‍🔬. Furthermore, I am a final year PhD student working on Evolutionary Meta-Learning at the Technical University Berlin. My work has been funded by the Science of Intelligence Cluster and supervised by Henning Sprekeler. Previously, I completed a MSc in Computing at Imperial College London, a Data Science MSc at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and an Economics undergraduate at University of Cologne. I recently worked at Google DeepMind with the Tokyo team as a full-time student researcher. I also interned at Legacy DeepMind (Discovery team) & Accenture and maintain a set of open source tools:
