Welcome

I am Research Director at ServiceNow, where I lead the Foundational AI Research (FAR) team working on foundation models, AI agents, RL reasoning, and enterprise reliability (safety and security). I am also Adjunct Professor at Polytechnique Montréal (affiliated with MILA) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (affiliated with CVC). Our team publishes impactful work at top AI venues and releases open-source models, benchmarks, and tools used by the research community worldwide.

I am always looking for talented interns and full-time researchers to join my team at ServiceNow, as well as PhD and Master’s students at the university. If you are excited about foundation models, AI agents, or open science, get in touch.
