Research Statement

I am broadly interested in practical deep reinforcement learning algorithms to solve complex tasks, especially applied to robotics. As such, my work draws in elements from machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. Some particular areas of focus include imitation learning and leveraging prior knowledge, and improving collaboration between humans and robots.
