Hi, I'm Max
👋

I'm a third-year PhD student in the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics 🤖, where I'm a member of the Lucas and Bramley labs. I'm also a graduate of Imperial's bioengineering department🎓, a former research assistant at UCL's visual plasticity lab👁, and a former software engineer at PolyAI🧠 and MedEngine⌚️.

My research mainly concerns social learning (and social cognition more broadly) in humans and machines; some other topics I'm interested in are information theory + resource-rationality, RL (esp. multi-agent), moral cognition, and artificial life / evolutionary computing. Take a look at my work, or feel free to reach out!
