Isaac Joffe

MMath Student in Computer Science

I joined the Computational Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG) at the University of Waterloo in September 2024, and earned an MMath in Computer Science in August 2026. Prior to that, I earned a BSc in Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta in April 2024.

I am broadly interested in how humans reason effectively and efficiently. My masters thesis research primarily concerned the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus for Artificial General Intelligence (ARC-AGI), an extremely difficult—and largely unsaturated—benchmark that tests fluid rather than crystalline intelligence. In addition to my masters thesis, I published multiple papers on this topic, including one that won a paper award in the ARC Prize 2025 Competition.
