Aditi Mavalankar is a Research Scientist at DeepMind with 11 years of experience focused on reinforcement learning, particularly on how agents extract useful information from interactions to accelerate adaptation, generalization, and exploration. She holds a PhD in Computer Science (AI) from UC San Diego and progressed through multiple DeepMind internships before joining the research team full time, reflecting a steady trajectory from academic research to industry-leading applied science. Her background blends rigorous academia with real-world system development—from internships at Amazon Lab126 to early mobile development—giving her a practical edge in implementing RL ideas at scale. Based in London, she brings a nuanced interest in information-efficient learning mechanisms that goes beyond standard reward optimization to improve agent learning dynamics.
