Frank Lawrence Nii Adoquaye Acquaye

Full-time: Applied Mathematics and Informatics

As a polyglot research engineer fluent in Python, I am passionate about building intelligent—or seemingly intelligent—software while probing the fundamental questions of learning and reasoning. My research explores the intersection of machine learning, reasoning, and computational efficiency, guided by the question: “Machines can learn, but can they reason in more interesting ways? What and how do they learn or reason, and how can we make this process more computationally efficient?”
