On the non-academic level, I am an enthusiastic beer lover, (mediocre) guitar player and occasional hiker. On the academic level, I enjoy trying to figure out how biology can help artificial intelligence become more solid from an engineering point of view. A bit more specifically: as AI will play a crucial role in our daily lives, building autonomous agents capable of participating in cooperative social interactions with humans is one of the main challenges in AI. Many animals indeed use their conspecifics as vehicles for gathering information that can potentially help avoid harm and maximize rewards, by responding efficiently to challenges in the environment. For this reason, I am convinced that biological life can offer powerful insights on how to pursue the AI challenge. In this sense, the Neurasmus master's has been the perfect choice for me, because it provided me with a broad set of tools to understand the mechanisms of biological life from the perspective of different sub-disciplines. In these two years, I have studied neurogenomics, genetics and cell biology in Amsterdam, behavioural neuroscience, addiction and cognitive neuroscience in Bordeaux, as well as worked on computational neuroscience internships in Boston and Amsterdam. But at the end of the day, a crucial aspect of Neurasmus is that it also provided me with the opportunity to meet amazing people from opposite parts of the world - enhancing my appreciation for diversity of thought. Strongly recommended!
