Emil is doing machine learning research at Google Art & Culture and independent research in reasoning.
In 2018, he made a popular open-source project that translates design mock-ups into HTML/CSS, Screenshot-to-code, and in early 2019 he was subject for a short-film by Google for his work on automated colorization.
Emil previously worked for the University of Oxford and he co-founded a seed investment firm focussed on education technology (59 investments).
