Here's my intro:

-> I'm a Research Scientist at DeepMind (for ~ 7 yrs)

-> I have BS and Masters in (pure) Maths, Masters in Psychology and PhD in CS

-> Our team researches systems that jointly learn language while acting and perceiving

-> We get interested when language interacts with 'general' (non-lang) intelligence

-> I lived in LatAm for a couple of yrs

-> I can run, but not as fast as I used to

-> If you know more about football than me, I'd like to meet you

-> Ditto 80s music

#introduction

I'm a 3rd-year PhD student at UCL DARK & Meta AI (FAIR) advised by @rockt.

My research focuses on building agents robust to different environments and others within them. My interests lie within the intersection of multi-agent RL & open-endedness.

I had the great fortune to work with @rockt @jnf @egrefen @minqijiang @jparkerholder @nantas @timrudner @bam4d @akbir and many others who are yet to move here :)

I’m a father to a 3-year-old future scientist (no pressure) #PhDParent

#introduction time!
I am a #social systems biologist.
I study how #evolution created #sociallife.
I study #ants and ant colonies as a model for #development.
I study the evolution and impact of socially transferred materials (e.g. milk, eggs, seminal fluid).
I lead the Lab of Social Fluids at University of Fribourg.
I am also the founder of The Catalyst, a science entertainment collective.
I am passionate about #scicomm, #genderequality, and making #academia a better place.

Hello world, again! Since introductions are a thing...

I'm Oliver - I do computer vision and robotics for agriculture, 3D reconstruction and recognition of plant structure.

Also generally computer graphics in general, functional programming.

Also rock climbing, biking and running depending on what I'm into at any point in time.

#Introduction

Hi! I am a CS PhD student at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am broadly interested in learning based #robotics to solve problems in #agriculture.

Currently I am working on vision-based navigation of under-canopy agricultural robots (https://ansivakumar.github.io/learned-visual-navigation/). These small robots could enable various precision agriculture applications like autonomous cover crop planting, mechanical weeding etc in an affordable way.

Hello! By way of an #introduction, I am

* a married Dad of two amazing young kids;
* an academic in Oxford, still going on the same problems that I did not solve during my PhD—Gaussian processes, Bayesian optimisation, Bayesian quadrature, Probabilistic Numerics (check out our book: https://probabilistic-numerics.org/textbooks);
* a co-founder of https://www.mindfoundry.ai;
* concerned with topics related to disability and chronic illness, after getting Long Covid (now recovered);
* in general, fairly weird.

Hi Mastodon Community!

Oh hey… adding some hashtags to my timeline. My interests as a dull list: #chemistry #bioinformatics #ai #ml #Proteindesign #biologics #epidemiology #immunology #aviation #stem #proteinstructure #biomanufacturing #software #chemometrics #stemjobs #drugdiscovery #drugmanufacturing

I'm a grad student at UW[1] David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, working on #bioinformatics #MassSpectrometry. Having a dog (yes, that's my avatar).

I'm a #Firefox user since 3.0, and a #Fedora user since 2012.

I had been participating is #competitiveProgramming since high school. It's fun even if I had never been in Div 1 :(. I'm maintaining https://github.com/Endle/rust-bundler-cp to use #rustlang on codeforces.com

My late #introduction

Hello, I’m new to the QOTO and the Fediverse and want to introduce myself.

I’m currently making a career transition to software engineering. I have worked in Python a little bit in the past year and am currently starting to use C. My interest/area of work is #embedded #softwareEngineering although I’m very new to it and software engineering in general. I am going back to school to get an Associates in Computer Engineering to hopefully fill in some gaps that I have.

Outside of work I am slowly working on a #mud using the #evennia framework in Python. I also enjoy spending time with my kids by going on walks around town. My oldest son just started cubscouts and I am glad he is enjoying camping because it’s something I have always enjoyed too!

I’m looking forward to connecting with other people here and on other Mastodon servers too.

I'm one of the many recent bird migrators 😂. I'm a professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Georgia. My research is modeling and analysis of infectious diseases. More at the links in my profile. I hope this whole Mastodon experiment works out!

Following my #introduction, I thought I’d share some of my recent work. Last week I presented some of my research at #HarvardMedicalSchool on #dataethics in the #anthropocene as part of the #PlanetaryHealth 2022 Annual Meeting.

@freckled @SwetaBioX twitch is the one I never used. Might change though if a grant gets approved 😊 May come back with questions then 😊

I absolutely love the idea of an #introduction toot 📯

I'm an interdisciplinary social scientist working at the University of #Melbourne's Centre for Cities.

I focus mainly on #Pacific Island #cities, climate impacts and informal settlements, but also the #SDGs, urban resilience and sustainable transport.

Anything that helps us re-think and untangle the intertwinement of colonial settler cities & the #climate crisis!

Currently living on unceded Wurundjeri country in Naarm (Melbourne).

Hello, here’s my #introduction!

I’m an undergraduate student studying neuroscience on the pre-medical track. As I further explore the field through reading other people’s research and hearing their experiences, I grow increasingly fascinated by its multi-displinary nature and hope to one day be contributing to it myself.

I look forward to exploring and learning from the works, resources, and discussions here on QOTO!

Some of my academic interests and personal hobbies include: #biology, #chemistry, #neurology, #medicine, #history, #politics , #photography, #reading, #food, #baking, #violin, #writing, #videogames, and more!

Hi! #introduction ! I am a #phd student in #chemistry in #vancouver ! I study #nanoparticle #liquidcrystal self-assembly, which has implications in our understandings of #biology nanostructures, #materials chemistry, and #nanotechnology

I’ve been #scicomm ing my #research live on #twitch where I am developing #3dprinting inks made from seaweed and other #biomaterials !

I also interview scientists weekly, so if you are ever interested, let me know! I’d love to have you as a guest!

#phdchat #academic #academia #academicchatter #introduction

Greetings all! Ron here again. I would like to share more details about my research focus. This is the first of several toots I'll post introducing my reasons for being on Mastodon.

As an assistant professor, I focus mostly on signal and image processing in neuroscience applications. My platforms of choice are #FSL #SPM #EEGLAB #PsychoPy #MATLAB #R and #Python Programming. If you are working with these tools, feel free to "at" me any time if I can help or you know something interesting! I also have worked in #ComputationalNeuroscience, particularly in simulating neural networks with Hodgkin-Huxley equations. That was some years ago, but mathematical modeling never gets old!

I look forward to sharing my work with the community as well as learning more about what each of you are doing!
