Hello! I'm Alex, I'm studying for a DPhil in AI & Robotics at the Applied AI Lab at Oxford, as part of the RAINZ CDT. I work on world models for robotics, supervised by Professor Ingmar Posner. My research interests are world models, autonomous agentic systems and reinforcement learning.
A post-training method which makes value-based RL algorithms more robust to distribution shift. The idea works by observing agents in the training environment and using conformal prediction to lower bound the action-value function.
Supervised by Mirco Musolesi and Lorenz Wolf.
An open-ended system for evolving interesting images to serve as a source of inspiration. The method uses novelty search over LLM prompts with diffusion models to evolve diverse sets of images (evaluated using CLIP distance).
Accepted to the NeurIPS workshop GenProCC.
