S Sam Turner
PresidentHi everyone, I’m Sam, a second year Computer Science student from Coventry, and Warwick AI’s President this year! Within AI, I’m mostly interested in how AI can be used with simulations to help solve problems in the natural sciences. I will be interning at Google in London this summer. Outside of AI, I enjoy climbing and can play the flute! Fun fact: I have a 1,400 day streak on Duolingo!

F Finlay Sanders
Vice PresidentHi all! I'm Fin, a second year CS student interested in emergence, reinforcement learning and sim2real. This summer I’ll be PufferAI’s first intern, working on scaling RL. If that sounds cool, always happy to chat! Fun fact: I once competed in 10 events at a single athletics meet.

S Sinni Chandra
TreasurerHi! I'm Sinni, a 3rd year CompSci student and Treasurer for 26/27! I love getting involved in all parts of the society, from socials to random last-minute ideas that somehow turn into real events. One of my favourite things that we organised was the Stemettes event, it was super rewarding to see so many people come together and making the space feel welcoming and inclusive for everyone. I'm so excited to help bring in new sponsors and create even more opportunities for members this year, while improving inclusivity. Fun fact: My favourite show is Brooklyn 99!

F Freddie Audley
Head of ProjectsHello! I'm Freddie, a second year Discrete Mathematics student and Head of Projects for 2026/27. I had a great time working on (and winning) the Snake project last year, and have an ongoing project where I am creating a neural network from scratch in C without the standard library. Outside of Warwick AI, I am Treasurer and former Musical Director for the Big Band. Fun fact: I have many hobbies, including playing music, Rubik's cubes, cryptic crosswords, and scoring cricket for my local team.

G Gargi Nisal
Social SecretaryHi! I’m Gargi, a second-year CS student and I’ll be your Social and Welfare Sec for 25/26! As well as vamping up code night and running some really varied and inclusive socials, I’ll be on hand to discuss any concerns and welfare issues. Despite being relatively new to AI, I love engaging with fun technical projects that have tangible outcomes, but I’m more than happy to chat about anything from TV shows to sport. Fun fact: I’m an avid social runner and have a run a (slow) half-marathon! I’m also Secretary for Run Soc 🙂
