Hola!
I'm doing a PhD under Prof. Anders Jonsson at UPF. I'm a part of the AI&ML group, and also a graduate teaching assisant for Bachlors in Computer Science at UPF. I'm interested in theoretical RL, linearly solvable Markov Decision Processes, and my current research direction involves understanding Regular Decision Processes better. I'm also deeply interested in Social Sciences, and the ethical and privacy concerns regarding artificial intelligence.
Education:
PhD student at AI&ML group under Prof. Anders Jonsson, focussing on Regular Decision Processes, at Universitat Pompeu Farba, Barcelona (2023-).
Masters degree in Intelligent Interactive Systems at Universitat Pompeu Farba, Barcelona (2022-2023).
Bachelors degree in Instrumentaiton and Electronics Engineering at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India (2016-2020).

Illustrations:
I love making illustrations in my free time, initially I focussed more on painting in acrylic, but due to my freuqent moves and Ryan Air's luggage prices, I've shifted to digital paintings.
