I’m a Staff Research Engineer at Google DeepMind and a doctoral researcher at University College London. I work on building scalable AI systems and multimodal models that can actively learn, understand, and interact with the real world.

In a past life, I was deep in the world of robotics. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sarajevo, followed by a Master’s in Robotics, Systems and Control at ETH Zurich. My thesis, completed externally at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, focused on learning to grasp using tactile sensors.

Along the way, I worked as a teaching and research assistant and spent time at Rapyuta Robotics, where I developed navigation algorithms and worked on autonomous warehouse robots and end-to-end drone autonomy.

I’m passionate about strengthening the scientific community in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the broader region. I co-founded the Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology (ANNT) to help connect and mobilize Bosnian talent worldwid.

I’m also part of the organizing committee for the Eastern European Machine Learning Summer School (EEML 2025) in Sarajevo.
