Founding member & research scientist, Pokee AI. Ex Meta AI. 

My research focuses on fundamental challenges in reinforcement-learning-based intelligent systems that are crucial yet not well understood.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, supervised by Professor Rich Sutton. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), where I worked in Professor Kai Yu's group.  After that, I earned my Master's degree, also in ECE, from the University of Michigan. I worked on the application of reinforcement learning in robotics when I was in Michigan, supervised by Professor Ben Kuipers.
