About

I am a AI researcher with the goal of creating autonomous agents that can efficiently learn to solve complex decision-making tasks in the real world.

As part of the Game Intelligence team, I am working towards autonomous agents that can enable novel experiences and tools in video games. I am broadly excited about technology and AI but most interested in its application for decision-making problems.

Prior to joining Microsoft Research, I received my PhD and MSc from the University of Edinburgh where I focused on reinforcement learning, in particular in the context of multi-agent systems that require multiple agents to cooperate with each other. I also co-authored a textbook on multi-agent reinforcement learning (opens in new tab)!
