About Me

Hello! My name is Amit Sinha and I’m currently in the final year of my PhD at McGill University under the supervision of Prof. Aditya Mahajan. I’ve also previously worked with Matthieu Geist, Jayakumar Subramanium and Sarath Chandar.

Affiliations: Mila, CIM, GERAD

Research Interests

My current research interests are centered around reinforcement learning for partially observable systems and multi-agent team-based systems.

In other words, I consider how vast amounts of complex information used by an automated decision making agent can be reduced to smaller, simpler and more efficient blocks of information; and subsequently how we can use these efficient blocks of information to learn automated decision making strategies that are useful.
