Bio

Adrian Mircea Nenu is a PhD student at the University of Manchester, as well as a computer scientist and artificial intelligence researcher.
Born in Romania, he studied computer science in the United Kingdom and began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he worked on large-scale data systems and graph-based analysis. He later moved to the United States to join Google, where he worked on production systems that combined distributed infrastructure, graphs, and machine learning, and explored how complex systems coordinate, reason, and scale in practice.
Adrian has since returned to the UK to pursue a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning, and reasoning systems, with an emphasis on connecting theory to systems that work at scale. Beyond research, he is involved in organisations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the British Computer Society (BCS), and the Society of Research Software Engineering, contributing to mentorship, governance, and community-building efforts that support sustainable research software and open collaboration.
