I am currently an Assistant Professor (UK Lecturer) at King’s College London. I lead the Cooperative AI Lab. My research interests lie in reinforcement learning and multi-agent cooperation, with a focus on topics such as generalization, zero-shot coordination, evaluation of human and AI players, and social agency (e.g., human-involved learning, safety, and ethics), among others.
