I am interested in Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, and Robotics. My work focuses on designing and developing intelligent learning agents capable of making interpretable, critical decisions under uncertain conditions.
Currently, my efforts are concentrated on the issue of generalization in reinforcement learning. I aim to develop algorithms that remain robust against the effects of confounders, with the ultimate goal of using these algorithms to solve real-world tasks.
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the department of Computer Science at the Purdue University. My advisor is Professor Yexiang Xue.
I completed my M.S. from the department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia in 2018. Before joining the University of Virginia, I worked as a Lecturer in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the BRAC University. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2013.
My research stands at the intersection of theoretical RL and practical applications, striving to bridge the gap between the two. The challenges in real-world applications of RL include dealing with imprecise state representations and the environment's shifts in data distribution. My objective is to leverage RL theory's strengths to address these challenges, creating algorithms that are grounded in realistic assumptions and are adaptable to shifting data distributions.
