Thank YOU! It has been a lot of fun 😀

Finalising my PhD this year has been one of the most rewarding experiences. I still remember walking into Esther’s office five years ago with just an idea, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the guidance and support from her and Eduardo throughout this journey. Thank you!

Congratulations to @corinacatarau.bsky.social for passing her viva with flying colours, and for, in the words of the examiners, a courageous and very original approach to address reinforcement learning agents' generalisation.

Bravo, Corina. I am very proud of you!

This is to inform prospective students that I am no longer the programme director of MSc AI at City St. George's, University of London. Others, more aligned with the interests of the powers that be, will be in charge. Good luck, all.
