Pedro M. P. Curvo

Pedro M. P. Curvo is a PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam, where he works between VISLab and AMLab. His research focuses on generative models and world models.

He is the designer of LiFT (Loop Flow Transformers), a diffusion transformer that reuses its layers recurrently in depth and learns to flow through both depth and time, allowing generation quality to scale with test-time compute rather than parameter count. He also developed reference-guided flow matching, a method for adapting generative models to new examples at inference time, and MSPT, a scalable architecture for large-scale physical simulation that received a Highlight at CVPR 2026. His earlier work spans multi-agent LLMs, learning-based design of fusion devices, and machine learning for scientific problems.

Pedro holds an MSc in Artificial Intelligence (cum laude) from the University of Amsterdam and a BSc in Physics Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon.
