Interested in reinforcement learning and decision making. Using RL to solve problems, preferring real-world applications such as robotics but also new-age LLMs for fine-tuning and reasoning. Working and envisioning useful LLM-based agents that have access to tools such as simulators (or wet labs?), and compute to test and verify their hypotheses to automate research and generate novel knowledge. Agents need agency!
