My primary research interest is in making reinforcement learning agents safe and sample-efficient to be viable for real-world applications. I work on autonomous energy systems to 1) improve energy efficiency, and 2) facilitate renewable energy integration.

My research interests vary, but generally gravitate towards the development of technologies to make our built enviornment and the communities in them more autonomous and efficient. Lately I am interested in developing responsible autonomous solutions for infrastructure systems.
