About Me
I am a researcher in Reinforcement Learning and Control methodology. Currently a Postdoc at Boston University, where I’m advised by Prof. Pacchiano Aldo.
- I have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from KTH Royal Insitute of Technology (Stockholm), where I was supervised by Prof. Proutiere Alexandre at the Division of Decision and Control Systems.
- Due to my past experiences, and interests, I have a versatile background, with both theoretical and practical expertise.
My research interests are in statistical learning, particularly in the areas of learning for sequential decision making. I have also an interest in Robust Control and Robust Reinforcement Learning.
Broadly, my agenda is to uncover the building blocks of adaptive algorithms and translating theoretical insights into reliable algorithms with practical impact.
