Klára Churá

Starting in August 2025, I will be a CS PhD student at Brown University, supervised by the marvellous Amy Greenwald. I will be focusing on topics in AI, multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, and algorithmic game theory. Watch this space!

I graduated with a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Tufts University in May 2025. Throughout my studies, I worked on neuro-symbolic learning for novelty handling under Jivko Sinapov at MuLIP, and Shivam Goel also mentored me.

Until mid-June 2024, I was a visiting student in Computer Science at the University of Oxford, where I was fortunate to work on super exciting econ MARL research under Jakob Foerster at FLAIR, and I also collaborated closely with Sebastian Towers.

In my free time, I am a polyglot bookworm, injury-prone runner, and avid cafe journaler.
