My Work

I am currently a Ph.D. student of Artificial Intelligence from the Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. My main research interest is deep reinforcement learning (DRL).

My research topic includes the two main questions: (a) How to reduce the large number of required experiences of DRL for obtaining a good controller? (b) How to effectively transfer knowledge gained from one task to solve new tasks quickly? I will mainly focus on HRL and Transfer Learning.
