Ankit J. Shah

Postdoctoral Researcher, Brown University

Brown University Robotics

Computer Science Department

Brown University

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University working on robotics with Profs. Stefanie Tellex, George Konidaris, and Michael Littman. I completed my Ph.D. in autonomous systems at MIT advised by Prof. Julie Shah at the Interactive Robotics Group. My research vision involves developing computational models and algorithms that allow domain-experts to directly train autonomous agents just as they would train a human apprentice. Leveraging human domain-experts’ strengths to enable robots to teach and learn effectively will be the defining theme of my long-term research. I believe that enabling domain-experts to directly train autonomous systems to perform complex tasks while enabling transparency in the system’s policy will be crucial enabler for widespread deployment of autonomous systems.
