I started my master’s at Mila in Computer Science under Prof. Pierre-Luc Bacon in Jan 2021. Leveraging Machine Learning and Optimization to endow robots with an extensive repertoire of skills, and fusing ideas from classical control theory with recent advances in AI appeal to me more than anything. To this end, I seek to conduct my research on the synthesis of complex motions via model-based optimization and reinforcement learning to generate natural-looking character animation and plausible practical robot trajectories.
