Hi there!

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at McGill University and Mila Institute, working with Prof. Blake A. Richards and Prof. Doina Precup. My interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning and cognitive science, including memory mechanisms for improving sample efficiency, generalization, and planning in reinforcement learning.

Before Joining LiNC lab, I completed my master's degree in Computer Science at Concordia University. My previous research experience includes meta-learning  and biological data analysis. 

While not doing research, I enjoy painting, running, and baking.
