Research interests

I'm interested in reinforcement learning, particularly in combination with function approximators.

This section last updated - January 1999.

Current Labs & Groups

Auton Lab - We build practical large-scale deployments of very highly autonomous self-improving systems.

Current Projects [Past projects]

Quality of Life Technology Center - QoLT is a unique partnership between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh that brings together a cross-disciplinary team of technologists, clinicians, industry partners, end users, and other stakeholders to create revolutionary technologies that will improve and sustain the quality of life for all people.
