Deep Reinforcement learning, control theory, computer vision. - RL for time-series control (POMDPs): Built PPO agents with GRU/LSTM on hand-derived quadrotor dynamics; achieved near-MDP performance under sensor/actuator noise and failure; analyzed convergence & innovated training regimes to significantly improve generalization (convergence would fail without these techniques) - Neuro-adaptive control: Extended a Lyapunov-aware recurrent controller for faster adaptation than non-recurrent baselines (paper basis: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08602) - Model efficiency & HPC: 75% model-memory reduction via pruning/quantization on constrained hardware; HPC cluster (DGX) usage for training and experiments on Linux
