Sanmit Narvekar
Ph.D. Student
Sanmit is interested in reinforcement learning, and in machine learning in general. His current research focuses on curriculum learning -- the automated design of a sequence of tasks that enable autonomous agents to learn faster or better. Sanmit is also a member of the UT Austin Villa Standard Platform League team, where he works primarily on the vision system. In his free time, Sanmit enjoys playing soccer, running, and reading.
