I am a sixth year PhD candidate in the department
of Computer Science at UMass Amherst.
I have a BA from Tufts University in
Clinical Psychology and Philosophy and a BS in
Computer Science and Math and an MS in Computer Science, both from
UMass Amherst. I expect to finish my PhD in the summer of 2010.
My advisor is Shlomo Zilberstein in the Resource-Bounded
Reasoning Lab. My research interests include
decision making under uncertainty, sequential decision making, single
and
multi-agent reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems and
applications of game theory.
I maintain the
DEC-POMDP page which contains information about the
decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP)
model for describing multiagent decision making under uncertainty.
Also, for a little help using the XML-RPC API of the NEOS server, look here
The RBR lab meeting schedule for Fall '09 can be found
here.
I co-organized the workshop on Multiagent Seqential Decision Making in
Uncertain Systems (MSDM) at AAMAS-09. For more info, check out the
website.
For more information on the Decision-Theoretic Planning for Multi-Agent
Systems: New Directions and Opportunities tutorial Matthijs Spaan,
Shlomo Zilberstein and I gave at IJCAI-09
check out the
website.
While working at Microsoft Research over the summer, I developed a
reinforcement learning framework for the video game Civilization IV.
You can download it and be able to have the AI learn to improve its
play with different RL algorithms. Check it out at the MSR
website.
