I am a PhD candidate at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA, University of Lugano, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber. My research centers on artificial curiosity, representation learning, reinforcement learning, and information theory, with the aim of uncovering criteria for determining the ‘interestingness’ of objects and developing effective representations for them. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am a classical pianist and composer.
