I am an applied mathematician working at the interface of control theory, reinforcement learning, numerical analysis, and machine learning. My current research focuses on continuous-time reinforcement learning and mean-field control, with broader interests in randomized numerical methods, partial differential equations, and the mathematical foundations of learning.
