Research

A subset of my research interests:

1) Neural Computation:

- Explore the computational capabilities of individual neurons and neural circuits.
- develop a coherent terminology for describing the assembly and integratian of neurons in constructing these circuits.

2) Deep Reinforcement Learning:

Leverage insights from psychology and neuroscience, with a specific emphasis on memory formation, memory consolidation, and learning, to enhance deep reinforcement learning.

3) Biologically-Inspired Algorithms:

Examine the biological underpinnings of learning and apply this knowledge to improve deep reinforcement learning and reinforcement learning algorithms.
