Computer Science and Engineering
I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science & Engineeringdepartment at the University of Washington advised by Prof. Rajesh Rao.
My main research interest is in building long-term, flexible learning agents. I am interested in using both cognitive science and neuroscience to learn about the human brain in order to gain insights into novel learning methods for artificial agents.
Recently, my research has focused on imitation learning and goal-inference in robotics.
