Avishkar Bhoopchand, a research engineer on the Game Theory and Multi-agent team, shares his journey to DeepMind and how he’s working to raise the profile of deep learning across Africa. 

As a research engineer and technical lead, no day is the same. I usually start my day by listening to a podcast or audiobook on my commute into the office. After breakfast, I focus on emails and admin before jumping into my first meeting. These vary from one-on-ones with team members and project updates to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) working groups. 

I try to carve out time for my to do list in the afternoon. These tasks could involve preparing a presentation, reading research papers, writing or reviewing code, designing and running experiments, or analysing results.
