Summary
Kieran Haden is an artificial intelligence undergraduate at the University of Leeds with 11 years of practical experience in software development, pivoting from an initial medical track to pursue computing and computational creativity. He is currently undertaking a research project building an open-source, parallel parameter-optimization platform that couples a C. elegans locomotion simulator with evolutionary algorithms, blending simulation, bio-inspired computation, and HPC techniques. Proficient in Python, C/C++ and Java, he has hands-on app and game development experience and a knack for algorithmic development. Recognized on the Dean's List, he brings both academic rigor and applied engineering to complex systems modelling. Notably, his internship work targets biologically grounded parameter tuning across proprioceptive receptor hypotheses, demonstrating an uncommon intersection of AI, neuroscience-inspired models and reproducible research tooling.
