Igor Kuznetsov

I’m a research engineer with a focus on deep reinforcement learning. My research interests are around memory mechanisms for intelligent agents, safety in reinforcement learning, and the connection between RL and language.

I obtained my bachelor's degree at ITMO University. Currently, I'm a senior engineer at Oxa, where I develop scenarios for autonomous solutions in simulation. Before that, I worked at JetBrains Research and Insilico Medicine.
