About Me

I believe biology holds the blueprint for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). My work bridges two worlds: I use AI to solve biological problems, and I use biological insights to build smarter AI. Currently, I am a graduate student and research assistant at the University of Sydney, co-supervised by Prof. David James and Prof. Jinman Kim.
