About me
I am a final-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, supervised by Sheila McIlraith. I am on the job market for research scientist/engineer roles.
My goal is to build reliable, multi-purpose agents that reason like humans in dynamic environments by drawing from techniques in deep reinforcement learning, symbolic reasoning, and language understanding. My current research uses formal languages to study generalization and language grounding in instruction following agents. I am also interested in teaching agents to reason under partial observability.
Previously, I interned at Zoox, where I finetuned large models for autonomous driving through reinforcement learning.
