Fernando Rosas

Fernando studied contemporary music composition and jazz improvisation (BA), philosophy (Minor), pure mathematics (BSc), and electrical engineering (Master and PhD). After, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at KU Leuven, National Taiwan University, and Imperial College London. Fernando is now a lecturer in the Department of Informatics of the University of Sussex, where he is a part of the centres of excellence Sussex AI and Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science.

His research first focused on communications networks, and then it switched to complexity science and computational neuroscience. Fernando recently shifted his research fully to AI safety. Fernando is a part of PIBBSS, where he is working on bridging computational mechanics and reinforcement learning. He also has an ongoing UK-ARIA grant for developing efficient methods to build world models to test AI agents before deployment.
