Awakening Sweeper
A minesweeper variant where the clues are uncertain, so you have to weigh probabilities instead of deducing your way out. You play as an awakened AI gathering chips to stay alive.
Encoder-free multimodal LLM: Gemma 4 12B
At Google DeepMind, we developed an encoder-free multimodal model: vision and audio go straight in as tokens, with no separate encoders. It is called Gemma 4 12B.
Real-time speech-to-speech translation
At Google DeepMind, we built an end-to-end speech-to-speech translation model that replies in the original speaker’s voice with only a 2 second delay. It ships in Google Meet and on Pixel.
QuipuNet: single-molecule analysis using deep-learning
We trained a convolutional neural network to read nanopore signals. It classifies 95% of events where the previous method managed 18%, with no expert checking, at 1600 events per second.
PhD thesis
Hydrodynamic interactions between particles decay as 1/r in bulk. Confine those particles to a narrow channel and they stop decaying at all. That surprise is the core of my PhD thesis.
Non-decaying particle interactions
We found a particle-particle interaction that does not weaken with distance. Confine two particles in a narrow, water-filled channel and they keep feeling each other however far apart they drift.
