Summary
Simone T is a Co-Founder and reinforcement learning researcher with 11 years of experience building ML-driven systems across high-frequency trading, smart grids, robotics dexterity, games, and EMG control. Trained at Mila as a PhD candidate and published on stable surrogate objectives for RL, Simone has applied deep RL and game-theoretic methods at EquiLibre alongside former DeepMind scientists for next-gen algorithmic trading. Previously they translated research into practice at Meta Reality Labs, AI Academy, and UPF, and have a background that blends mathematical statistics and business/economics. Now based in London, Simone is building immersive, agent-driven worlds at a stealth AI startup, bringing both academic rigor and hands-on product chops to ambitious machine intelligence projects. An underappreciated strength is their breadth—moving from founding a nightlife startup to commercial drone infrastructure and cutting-edge RL research—showing an unusual mix of entrepreneurial grit and technical depth.
