Summary
Alexander Meulemans is a senior research scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of machine learning, theoretical neuroscience and control, now leading research at Google after a PhD at ETH Zürich. He investigates the foundations of predictive agency and scalable multi-agent societies, combining formal theory in optimal control, game theory and Bayesian prediction with practical advances in multi-agent RL and model-based credit assignment. His work spans self-supervised sequence learning, causality-grounded policy improvement, and designing algorithms that promote robust human-AI cooperation as agents scale. A decorated conference presenter and collaborator with researchers at DeepMind and Princeton, he brings both deep theory and hands-on systems experience to high-impact problems. Outside research he is a classically trained violist who skis, hikes Swiss Alps, and perfects homemade pizza on weekends—hinting at a creative, detail-oriented approach to complex problems.
