Research Topics
I am interested in Reinforcement Learning, Robotics and Computer Vision. Specifically, my research focuses on modeling the dynamics of the world, leveraging/finding human priors for policy learning, and further enabling algorithms to learn in a sample-efficient manner. I am also interested in solving complex real applications with deep learning and reinforcement learning.
