Reinforcement Learning @ University of Bath

I’m a PhD student at the University of Bath, supervised by Prof. Özgür Şimşek. My research explores the intersection of Causality and Reinforcement Learning.

Until January 2024, I worked as a software engineer at Google. Previously, I completed an MSc at ETH and a BEng at Imperial College London, both in Computer Science.

Outside of work, I love spending time in nature and reading philosophy.
