Summary
Diana Borsa is an Associate Professor and machine learning researcher based in London with a decade of experience bridging academic rigor and industry research at UCL and DeepMind. Her work focuses on reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, probabilistic modelling and representation learning, driven by a long-term interest in understanding and progressing toward general intelligence. At DeepMind she progressed from intern to staff research scientist, combining theoretical math and empirical agent learning to tackle interactive and cognitive modelling problems. Trained with dual BSc degrees in EECS and Mathematics and a PhD in Machine Learning from UCL, she blends deep formal grounding with practical experimental expertise. She often explores less-trodden angles—such as RL paradigms for financial derivatives and social-data-informed health risk prediction—reflecting a curiosity that spans optimisation, cognition models and classical statistical learning.
