About Me

I am taking students to be co-advised with Mila faculty members for 2025. If you are interested, reach out over e-mail with a research problem and list of 3 suggested faculty members.

I am currently a Research Scientist at the Interactive & Embodied group within the Machine Learning Research team at Apple, working with Alex Toshev on solving fundamental sequential decision making problems using large generative models.

I defended my PhD at the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (Mila) and McGill University in December 2022, co-supervised by Devon Hjelm and Doina Precup.

Research Interests

• Reinforcement learning: exploration, representation learning, generalization.
• Generative Models:: large language models, diffusion models and applications to reinforcement learning.
