Be a scientist out of interest :)

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Meta, focusing on reasoning and large-scale reinforcement learning. I received my Ph.D. from UT Austin, where I was fortunately co-advised by Prof. Peter Stone and Prof. Qiang Liu. My research interest lies in continual learning and reinforcement learning. Specifically, I am interested in designing theoretically sound algorithms and neural architectures for training large-scale multi-purpose agents. Before that I completed my master's at Stanford and my undergraduate at JHU.
