About me

I am a Ph.D. student at the RLAI lab at the University of Alberta, supervised by Dr. Martha White and Dr. Adam White. Currently, I am working on improving an online learning agent using offline data.

My research interests:
  • - Reinforcement Learning
  • - Offline to Online
  • - Representation Learning
