Research Interests

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin studying artificial intelligence. My advisor is Peter Stone and I am a member of the Learning Agents Research Group at UT. I am also a part of the UT Austin Villa robot soccer team. I am researching reinforcement learning and robotics, specifically looking to make reinforcement learning more open-ended and applying it to make curious robots.

Before coming to UT, I worked in the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding Rehabiliation Hospital in Boston. There I worked on methods to evaluate the mobility of stroke, arthritis, and Parkinson's patients using wearable sensors. We used machine learning techniques to analyze wearable sensor data and quantify the quality of the patients' movements. I've also worked on a number of projects on my own, including building my own robot from scratch, writing a program to predict the scores of NFL football games based on machine learning techniques, and writing a 3D Connect Four game.
