Venture-backed startup founder. We are a team of AI pioneers from top industry labs (Google X + AI, Unity) inventing a new type of AI capable of superhuman spatial reasoning by building a cognition-inspired world model. Prior, I was a Machine Learning Lead at Google X for a project in geo AI. My team developed novel AI models and algorithms for solving a range of problems, including sensing, prediction, and optimal control. We collaborated with leading academic labs.Caltech PhD in Neural Computation with theoretical and applied knowledge in deep learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, learning theory, behavioral models. My PhD work focused on sequential decision-making in brains and machines. This involved topics spanning AI and naturalistic learning, including computer vision, machine learning / reinforcement learning, theoretical neuroscience, and behavior modeling and prediction.Previously worked in public policy and startups through global experiences in academia, industry, and international organizations.
