Research

My research is motivated by a key problem of AI which is making decisions in an interactive environment, besides perception and prediction. I am broadly interested in interactive machine learning (e.g. reinforcement learning and bandit) under the real-world constraints such as sample efficiency, safety, robustness and alignment.

Recently, I work on reinforcement learning methods in training foundation models (project: Amazon Bedrock) and foundation models for decision making.
