Jonathan Colaço Carr

I am finishing a master’s degree in computer science at McGill University and Mila, where I do research on decision-making algorithms that act both under uncertainty and towards a greater social good. For this, I use methods from computational social choice, game theory, and reinforcement learning.

During the 2024–2025 academic year I was a visiting student researcher at Stanford, and prior to that I was a research intern at UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI. My master’s research was supported by the NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship and a Mitacs GlobaLink research award.

Outside of academia, I lead a small team of software developers at Hortus AI. We’re creating a marketplace for public-sector AI that's designed to make partnerships transparent, ethical, and easy to navigate.

I am looking for PhD opportunities! Here is my resume.
