Diego Martí Monsó

Hi! I’m Diego.

I’m an AI researcher at <stealth>. My goal is to create intelligent systems that can understand their environment and predict the outcomes of their actions to make informed decisions.

The future is exciting!

Bio

I’m a founding research scientist at <stealth>, more news coming soon! I earned both my master’s and bachelor’s degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Munich. During my time at MIT, I was advised by Prof. Vincent Sitzmann, who continued to advise me alongside Prof. Christian Rupprecht at Yellow 3D. My research focuses on building world models as a critical component for (embodied) AI agents to understand and act autonomously in their environment through counterfactual simulation. World models have broad downstream implications for robotics, graphics, and vision.
