About Me

My current research interests center around Reinforcement Learning (RL), a field I believe is the most promising path toward general-purpose learning systems. I am broadly interested in nearly all sub-directions of RL (RLVR, Multi-Agent, Robotic Learning, Games, etc.) and the societal and economic impacts of related technologies.

My research journey has spanned several areas, including Theoretical Computer Science, Machine Learning Systems, and Computational Neuroscience. While I no longer focus directly on brain-inspired computation, it has profoundly shaped my research intuition.

Background

I am also proud of my background in Competitive Programming, where I had the honor of representing my team in the ICPC World Finals.
