Research Projects

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - I am collaborating with the civilian cybersecurity group, working on power grid security research

Dr. Wenke Lee's lab - Currently, I am working on cybersecurity related to the power grid

Dr. Marie desJardin's lab - During the last year at UMBC, I worked in the MAPLE lab. I focused on Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning, helping to design and implemement the R-AMDP agent. I co-authored 2 papers for RLDM and ICAPS IntEX .
