<p>
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, focusing on <strong>World Models</strong>, <strong>Reinforcement Learning</strong>, and <strong>Multi-Agent Systems</strong>.
I&apos;m a CS PhD student at UMass Lowell building world models for autonomous agents.
</p>
<p>
My work lies in building World Models for autonomous agents that can reason, adapt and learn in complex environments.
On the weekends I enjoy exercising, playing chess, listening to Jimi Hendrix, and playing video games.
