வணக்கம் (~ Greetings in Tamil) :)

I am an IVADO Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and the University of Montréal, working with Prof. Sarath Chandar and Prof. Doina Precup.

My research interests lie in building systems that through interaction can learn to be competent in complex, dynamic, and uncertain environments.  I am interested in the computational methods to build such systems as well as their practical applications and societal implications. To this end, my current research focuses on deep reinforcement learning and natural language processing.

I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering (stream: Artificial Intelligence) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working with Prof. Satinder Singh, and completed my M.Tech. and B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering (major stream: Communication Engineering, minor stream: Physics) at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, working with Prof. Balaraman Ravindran and Prof. Kaushik Mitra. 

I am always up for a chat :) Send me an email if you would like to discuss anything!
