I'm a Research Scientist at Sony AI on the Game AI team, working on bringing reinforcement learning agents to games like Gran Turismo.

I completed my PhD at the Learning Agents Research Group (LARG) at UT Austin, advised by Prof. Peter Stone. My doctoral research focused on improving RL algorithms through the estimation and control of visitation distributions — studying what states agents visit and what transitions they experience.

Before my PhD, I was a Master's student at UMass Amherst working with Sridhar Mahadevan on deep learning and deep RL. I've also interned at DeepMind (2021) with Volodymyr Mnih and Microsoft Research (2018) with Matthew Hausknecht and Adith Swaminathan.

My broader research interests span multiagent RL, robotics, and sim-to-real transfer. I used to coordinate the weekly RL Reading Group at UT Austin.
