The Lab performs research across machine learning, planning and robotics. See our publications for more details on what the current members are studying.

Here is a mutable list of topics of interest for the lab. Students should be interested in these topics when applying and reference their related topics of interest when applying.

  • Sequential decision making and reinforcement learning: multi-agent RL, generalization in RL, hierarchical RL, sample efficient RL, RL for scientific discovery, language-based RL agents, goal-conditioned RL, offline RL.
  • Unsupervised Learning: unsupervised RL, intrinsic rewards, representation learning for deepRL, safe RL.
  • Robotics: Legged robotics, planning from vision, autonomous learning, large models for robotics, control theory, Sim2Real.
  • Computer Vision: Vision models for robotics, vision-language models, invariant representations.

Please apply through one of these forms. It is unlikely I will respond to individual emails.

Undergraduates interested and/or IFT3150/IFT4150 projects

Please apply through this form. If you are an undergraduate student, I strongly suggest you consider applying to the Undergraduate Student Research Award program.

MSc, PhD, interns, or visiting research MSc/PhD

Please apply through this form. MSc and PhD students will also have to apply through Mila admissions or UdeM admissions. Review my tips on preparing applications to graduate school before applying. After you are admitted, please contact me for potential supervision.
