Hello, I’m Alex!

I’m a PhD student at City St George’s, University of London, supervised by Pranava Madhyastha and Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz.

My thesis is provisionally titled: A Cognitively Inspired Architecture for Conversational Agents. I mainly focus on improving conversational agents through the addition of components inspired by semantic and episodic memory, emotion, working memory, and learning from experience.

As a result of my research I have also worked with topics such as Large Language Models, Natural Language Processing, and Knowledge Graph Embeddings.
