I'm a third year PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
My research seeks to address the challenge of balancing efficiency and fairness in multi-agent teams using reinforcement learning.
I am pursuing graduate studies at the DINaMo Group, MIT with Professor Hamsa Balakrishnan to strengthen my knowledge further and contribute to the research community.
