Niko Lorantos

I’m an undergrad at UMass Amherst researching complex systems and intelligence. I’m studying computational mathematics with multidisciplinary honors, and conducting research on artificial life and open-endedness at Amherst College where I am advised by Lee Spector. Previously, I worked as a Research Engineer at UMass CICS and interned at a biotech startup as an AI Engineering Intern. My coursework spans topics in mathematics, computer science, and philosophy that encompass technical and philosophical perspectives on artificial intelligence.

In my free time, I enjoy snowboarding, spending time in nature, and sleeping.
