About me

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, where I work on multi-agent AI and LLM social simulation. My research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, and the social sciences, with a focus on understanding how intelligence and complex social behavior emerge from interactions between individuals.

Currently, I work on Concordia, a platform for generative agent-based models using large language models to simulate human behavior and emergent social and economic dynamics. I am interested in building increasingly realistic simulations of individuals and societies, both as tools for understanding human behavior and as testbeds for exploring the societal implications of advanced AI.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Dan Yamins and Prof. Nick Haber. I received my PhD in Computation and Neural Systems from Caltech, advised by Prof. John O’Doherty, and my BS in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California.
