Thank you for your interest in working with me and sharing the joy of doing research. :) Our group provides an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. I strongly encourage students from underrepresented groups in Computer Science research to apply. This includes, but is not limited to, Dalits, Adivasis, women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of racialized groups, and members of sexual and gender minority groups. 

I am looking for multiple students to work with me on Deep Reinforcement Learning at the Faculty of Computer Science, Dalhousie University, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Our group's research focus is on enabling machines to learn through interactions and become competent in complex, dynamic, and uncertain environments.  To that end, we work on deep reinforcement learning. Our current topics of study within deep reinforcement learning include model-based reinforcement learning, discovering what to learn, leveraging external knowledge sources, LLMs and foundation models, off-policy learning, transfer learning, and meta-learning. We also collaborate with domain experts to explore and support the application of deep RL to a wide range of practical and impactful real-world tasks and challenges.
