I’m a research scientist working in the field of Reinforcement Learning. That means I make AI agents that learn to solve tasks from interactions with their world. For example, I was part of a team that trained an AI agent to outrace the top human racers in the racing game Gran Turismo . Our agent learned
I’ve been involved in reinforcement learning since 2013 when I started my MSc at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Richard Sutton and Patrick Pilarski. I received the Vanier Scholarship which enabled me to do a PhD under the supervision of Patrick Pilarski. My graduate research was on learning predictive representations of an agent’s interactions with its world using a particular approach from reinforcement learning known as general value functions. During my PhD I had internships with 3 di
In addition to my recent career as an AI researcher I worked for a bit less than a decade in software development with various roles including development, architect, project management, and business development.
