Assistant Professor
College of Computing and Artificial Intelligence | Department of Computer Sciences
I am an assistant professor in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin — Madison conducting research in artificial intelligence and robotics. The goal of my research is to develop fully autonomous agents that learn how to achieve goals from experience. Towards this goal, I study a branch of machine learning called reinforcement learning (RL) that enables autonomous agents to learn via trial and error interaction. The goal of my research is to develop and apply reinforcement learning algorithms that are effective with a limited amount of task interaction time and to integrate these algorithms into complete autonomous agents.
Talks:
Artificial Intelligence & Robots
AI is transforming our digital world but there is often a large gap between the digital and physical world. In this talk, I will discuss challenges faced by existing AI methods and how we might develop AI agents and specifically robots that can learn and act in the physical world.
