Levin Brinkmann

Ph.D. candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development under the supervision of Iyad Rahwan. My work blends methods from complex systems, machine learning, and experimental social science to study human-AI hybrid systems. In my non-academic endeavors, I apply contrastive learning to enhance the skills of professional stylists. During my Ph.D., I conduct controlled experiments to explore the transmission of behaviors between deep Q-learning agents and humans, as well as the collaborative exploration of visual concepts using diffusion models. My passion is to advance AI by harnessing insights from collective intelligence and cultural evolution, aiming to develop prosocial and innovative AI ecosystems.
