I am a first year PhD student at the University of Toronto supervised by Professor Gilitschenski at the Toronto ISL lab. My work focuses on exploiting the abilities of foundational models for robotics with a special attention to controlling uncertainty without losing effectiveness.
For my research during my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, I received an honorable mention at the CRA’s Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Awards (2024). Beyond researching object-centric reinforcement learning at TISL, I combined graph neural networks and reinforcement learning to optimize traffic flow at intersections during an internship at Bosch Corporate Research. We were able to train models that outperformed traditional approaches and generalised well to unseen intersection layouts. Building on this experience, I applied geometric deep learning, under the supervision of Professor Engels, to the problem of learning strategies for the deck-building game Dominion. The resulting agent were able to learn strategies previously only seen in human play on a wider set of game configurations.
