Siyuan Zhang

Hi! I'm a M.S. student in Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I am fortunate to work with Nan Jiang. Previously, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science from UIUC as well.

I'm broadly interested in research related to reinforcement learning, robotics and computer vision. My research focuses on developing decision making algorithms that are more robust, sample efficient, and can be deployed to solve real-world applications such as robotic learning and healthcare.
