Drawing on work by researchers including Horace Barlow,
Dan Nicolau Jr is a Reader at King's College London whose work sits at the intersection of mathematics, engineering, medicine, immunology, and artificial intelligence.
He completed his DPhil in Mathematics at University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Philip Maini

Each month inside the Thinking About Thinking Fellowship private members area, we will highlight one Fellow and one Ambassador who has contributed to the community in meaningful ways.
Our first honouree Ambassador is Idea MH Khan.
Idea has been a thoughtful and generous member
Alongside his research, Idea serves as Head of Technical at King’s AI Society, where he leads workshops and events designed to make frontier AI more accessible to students. He also co-founded a recruitment technology startup applying LLM pipelines to improve job matching. Join
The fellowship private members area is a clean interface that connects those who “Think about Thinking”.
Mentors, researchers, figure outers…everyone is welcomed.
Great job @thought_channel 👏🏾👏🏾
The Thinking About Thinking Fellowship Hub has been built to support meaningful intellectual exchange across our global community.
Inside the Hub, Fellows can:
