About Me


I work as a postdoc for Prof. Emma Brunskill at Stanford University. My research interests are mostly at the intersection of reinforcement learning and machine learning, specifically on the sub-topics related to continual learning, non-stationarity, safety, off-policy data, and other challenges stemming from real-world applications in education and healthcare.


I received my PhD at the University of Massachusetts, where I was a member of the Autonomous Learning Lab (ALL) and was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Philip Thomas.
