Hey, I’m Boris!

👨🏻‍💻 I’m a Research Scientist at Sakana AI, based in Tokyo, Japan.

🔬 My research interests are in Open-ended Learning using large foundation models!

📽️ I am also interested in assisting others on their path into the world of Machine Learning and academia.

I worked in many domains of ML, but most recently, I worked on Open-endedness leveraging large foundation models and reinforcement learning for (multimodal) LLMs.

Thesis paper accepted at ICCV 2025!

2025, Jul

After one long year of special ✨ conference submission, review, and rebuttal phases, my paper for my master’s thesis was finally accepted at the ICCV 2025 MRR Workshop.
See you in Honolulu! 🌺

  • In November 2024, I joined Sakana AI as a research scientist exploring ideas like latent reasoning by combining diffusion models with LLMs, RL for Webagents, and (most excitingly) Open-endedness through large foundation models!

  • After 6 years of studying (including my bachelor's/undergraduate studies), I finally graduated with first-class honors!
