About
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Singapore Management University, supervised by Professor Pradeep Varakantham. My research focuses on training reinforcement learning (RL) agents and humans to be more generalizable, with an emphasis on improving training effectiveness and efficiency. For an example of my recent work, see CENIE.
Before joining SMU, I completed my MSc in Electrical Engineering at the Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California, where I discovered my passion for machine learning and AI research. Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy sports, travelling, reading and supporting FC Bayern Munich.
