Doctorate in engineering (Ph. D)
2023 -
- GPA: 4.3/4.3
- Developed a vision-based robotic training environment in Unity using ML-Agents to simulate a UR10 robotic arm performing paint spraying tasks, enabling training and evaluation of AI control policies in a physically accurate simulation.
- Designed a Reinforcement Learning with Demonstrations (RLfD) algorithm that integrates reference trajectories with policy learning, achieving faster convergence and higher task success rates than standard imitation and reinforcement learning approaches.
- Proposed and validated a custom neural network architecture optimized for vision-conditioned robotic control in high-variance manufacturing scenarios, improving policy generalization across diverse part geometries.
