Project
Towards Robust Autonomous Control through Reinforcement Learning and Generative Modelling

Summary
My research explores the intersection of reinforcement learning, control theory, and generative models, with a particular focus on diffusion and energy-based models. I am interested in developing robust, adaptive decision-making and control systems for autonomous robots, with drones serving as a primary platform for investigating these ideas in real-world environments.
