I’m thrilled to announce that @carbon_re has raised a $4.8m seed round! We’ve been sitting on this news for a while to sort out all the legal bits, but we can finally share it around 🚀

It will help us grow the team, serve more customers, and kickstart an AI research group! However this is likely the first time you have heard of us, so let me tell you what we do.

Carbon Re is a #climate #AI company on a mission to decarbonise “foundation industries”. Why is this important, you might ask?

#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

Belated #introduction: I am interested in open-endedness and reinforcement learning research. I'm an Associate Professor at the UCL Centre for AI where I am a PI for the UCL DARK (https://dark.cs.ucl.ac.uk/) lab with @egrefen (some of our students are here as well @LauraRuis @minqijiang @mika) and collaborate closely with @jnf. At DeepMind, I am leading the Open Endedness Team (follow @jparkerholder).
