Hello! My name is Ian and I am an artificial intelligence and computer science researcher. Currently I spend most of my time at Engramme where we are working to solve human memory.

Previously I worked on self-improving vision systems at Fujitsu Research. Before that, in academia, I was a postdoctoral researcher with Xavier Boix and Pawan Sinha in the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department of MIT where I worked on data distribution shifts and compositionality. I completed my PhD working in the Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour at the University of Edinburgh where I was supervised by Taku Komura. During my studies I worked on rapid adaptation of neural networks under changing distributions and applications of this in deep learning for computer graphics. I completed an MSc in AI at the University of Edinburgh and a BSc in Mathematics at Imperial College London.

Outside work I enjoy spending my time on creative activities: music, art, cinema and game development. You can contact me at any of the social links on the sidebar or email me at ianxmasonsite at gmail dot com.
