My name is Jan, I am a master’s student in computer science at EPFL and a research assistant at the Autonomous Systems Group at the University of Texas at Austin, where I work on Large Language Models (LLMs) in strategy games.

At a high level, I am interested in understanding how our mind works and in building machines that can perceive, think, and learn. Practically speaking, my research agenda is focused on (i) understanding what deep learning models learn and why, and (ii) using these insights to build more capable agents that can learn continually to solve long-horizon tasks.

I am always happy to discuss these topics, so if you have related thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
