Research Experience
Throughout my tenure in Computer Science, I've been focused on developing informative and explicable reward functions to guide agents toward their goals by incentivizing optimal actions and discouraging incorrect ones via negative rewards.
Education
Currently a final-year (all but dissertation) PhD student at the Machine Teaching group of Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), in Saarbrücken, Germany, and a member of the Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science.
Background
Research Interests: Advancing Reinforcement Learning methodologies, particularly in formalizing reward design frameworks. Field: Computer Science, Reinforcement Learning.
