Hello. I am a scientist & engineer at Google DeepMind.
I currently work on the Gemini core team working on RL and reasoning ♊.
Very recently, I was model co-lead & captain of the Gemini Deep Think model that achieved the IMO Gold Medal 🥇.
Previously, I co-led early LLM efforts at Google Brain including PaLM-2, UL2 and Flan-2. While I was a researcher for most of my professional life, I also took a short break to be a co-founder of a "unicorn" AI startup in 2023-2024.
I am interested in getting humanity to AGI and my research and main focus is to find game changers to get us there.
I live in Singapore 🇸🇬 but report into Mountain View and mostly only collaborate with US/UK on a day to day basis.
