About

Building trustworthy learning systems.

I'm a graduate student researching how to make reinforcement learning agents explore responsibly and communicate what they know. I care about simple baselines, clean code, and making research artifacts easy to reproduce.

Interests

What I'm exploring

  • Exploration strategies and intrinsic motivation
  • Evaluation for trustworthy RL systems
  • Efficient model design and data curation
  • Simple baselines and reproducible tooling

Selected work

Projects & collaborations

Transparency in RL

Exploring ways to surface what agents know and how they explore, as part of the UBC Digital Transparency Cluster.

PiVein

Applying U-Net variants and streaming inference to detect veins in NIR imagery for biomedical applications.

Efficient CNNs

Prototyped compact convolutional networks with natural-gradient updates, aiming for lower power and parameter budgets.
