I finished MSc Machine Learning with Distinction at Royal Holloway University of London and worked on the intersection of Reinforcement Learning & Robotics for my Master Thesis. I am proud to be advised by Prof. Chris Watkins with the thesis.

My research interests: Model-based Planning(e.g., MPC) in RL, Offline Policy Evaluation(aka Counterfactual Evaluation), Listwise Recommender Systems.

My team at NAVER hosts a weekly study group in which we discuss a variety of ML topics, so please let me know if you are interested. Any topic is welcome so that let's discuss together!!
