RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research primarily focuses on developing reinforcement learning systems that can behave safely, adapt to changing contexts and align their decisions with human goals and preferences. I am particularly interested in how agents can autonomously learn from human guidance, large language models and their own experience to improve decision-making in complex and unfamiliar environments.
Knowledge Areas:
Reinforcement Learning · Human-Aligned AI · AI Safety · Context-Aware AI · Multi-Agent Systems · Machine Learning
