Researcher

Andrew Cowie

Andrew Cowie co-authors AI papers on protein structure prediction, reinforcement learning, quantum error correction and AI for mathematics. Acme, a framework for constructing novel reinforcement learning algorithms, appeared on arXiv in June 2020 with him among its authors. Nature published the AlphaFold paper in July 2021, and he was one of its DeepMind authors. In May 2024, Nature published AlphaFold 3, a model that predicts the joint structure of complexes, and he co-authored it. He also co-authored AlphaQubit 2, a neural decoder for topological quantum codes posted in December 2025, and the AI co-mathematician workbench submitted in May 2026.
