Research
My research concerns artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on machine learning techniques such as deep reinforcement learning and learning from demonstrations. My current research topics cover large-scale deep reinforcement learning, policy gradient methods, and optimization theory. I am applying these methods to problems in video games, robotics and multi-agent systems.
