About
I am currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Computer & Information Sciences department at University of Michigan-Dearborn. Prior to that, I spent three wonderful years at University of Alberta working with Prof. Matt Taylor as part of the Intelligent Robot Learning Lab (IRL lab) . I earned my PhD in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Dallas under the supervision of Prof. Sriraam Natarajan . I was part of the StaRLing lab @ UTD . My research interest spans across building sample-efficient models like Active Learning & Cost-sensitive learning to various decision making tasks like Reinforcement Learning, Inverse RL, Imitation learning etc in structured domains. I am also interested in leveraging human guidance to guide the sample-efficient and decision making models. Currently, I am interested in using human advice of different modalities and teacher-student framework to guide Reinforcement learning agents towards optimal behaviour more efficiently.
