About Me
I am currently a second year master student majoring in Robotics at Delft University of Technology. My research interests lie at the intersection of Machine Learning and Robotics (Robot Learning), specifically Reinforcement Learning and imitation learning.
Currently, I am working with Dr.Cosimo Della Santina on Self-Adaptive Reservoir for Reinforcement Learning, where we combines Reservoir computing with RL for better sample efficiency. I am applying for PhD positions starting in Fall 2026.
