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 co-organizing the Eastern European Machine Learning Summer School (EEML 2025) in Sarajevo.
