About Me

I am an Artificial Intelligence researcher with expertise in emergent communication and machine learning applications for engineering problems. As a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, I applied machine learning techniques to maritime engineering challenges, collaborating with industry partners to optimize car carrier designs through neural networks that estimate wave-induced resistance. My Ph.D. research investigated how autonomous agents develop languages from scratch, with a focus on temporal dynamics in those languages. I designed novel architectures enabling temporal referencing and understanding that improve strategy development and convergence in multi-agent systems. My work examining temporal relationships in interpretable emergent communication has been published in leading conferences including NeurIPS and ICLR.
