About Me

LinkedIn      X.com      Github
I believe that for AI to truly understand our world, it must first move within it. At the University of Wolverhampton, my research focuses on Embodied AI: building intelligent agents that learn through the dance of perception, action, and physical interaction. By bridging the gap between high-level cognitive science and the gritty reality of robotics, I develop systems that don’t just process data—they experience it. My mission is to move intelligence out of the simulation and into the wild, creating autonomous agents capable of real-time adaptation and complex, long-horizon reasoning.
George Gbenle
Researcher, Embodied AI

Experience

15+ years. 3 major industries. Countless deployments. My journey through Fintech, Telecomms, and Education has taught me one thing: technology is only as good as the problems it solves. I’ve spent the last decade and a half navigating the complexities of legacy systems and the frontiers of modern engineering, turning messy business challenges into elegant, high-performance software. I build for scale, I build for security, and most importantly—I build for the future.

Education

I’ve built a unique foundation across two MSc degrees— one in Natural Sciences and a second in Computer Science & AI. This dual-mastery allows me to bridge the gap between biological complexity and digital logic. Now, as a PhD researcher in Embodied AI, I am synthesizing these worlds to develop intelligent agents that learn through physical experience, effectively giving the 'brain' of AI a body to understand our world.

Awards

Beyond the lab and the office, I thrive in high-pressure competitive environments. I am a two-time first-place winner of global hackathons, including the Encode/Filecoin Hackathon and the 2023 Optimism Hackathon. My ability to bridge complex theory with rapid execution was further recognized in 2025 with an Award for Continuous Innovation, honoring my commitment to pushing technical boundaries within the industry.

Research & Publications

Currently focused on publishing my latest findings at the intersection of Robotics and Cognitive Science. My work aims to advance the field of Embodied AI by developing agents capable of real-time adaptation and complex reasoning through physical interaction. Stay tuned for upcoming papers and presentations that will shed light on this exciting frontier.
