About me

I am a second year student in the PhD program at Rutgers University.

I am a member of RL3, Michael Littman's Rutgers Laboratory for Real Life Reinforcement Learning.

Here is my resume.

Current Work

I am a TA for cs113 with Dr. Sesh.

Numerical Analysis with Prof. Richter.

Theory of Distributed Computing with Prof. Wright.

Light seminar on planning in learned environments with Prof. Littman.

OORL: Object Oriented Reinforcement Learning. A new way of looking at learning.

RL Mario: I've hacked the source of megamario, a mario bros 1 clone, and embedded my own scripts in. My goal is to have an agent learn to beat the first level using reinforcement learning techniques. Here is the paper Chris and I submitted to NESCAI07.

Past Work

Ninjas Vs Pirates - a game created for my AI class in fall '06. I did the graphics and much of the user interface.

In fall '06 I was a TA for cs105: Great Insights in Computer Science and cs503: Computational Thinking. In spring '07 I was a TA for cs314: Principles of Programming Languages.
