Abhishek Paudel

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University, where I’m advised by Prof. Greg Stein in the Robotic Anticipatory Intelligence & Learning (RAIL) Group.

My research interests are in the areas of robotics and machine learning. I’m interested in improving the robot’s abilities to adapt to multiple environments through policy selection during deployment. My current research focus is on developing techniques with sound theoretical foundations that enable robots to quickly identify the best policy from a set of policies without having to deploy each of them to guide robot behavior.

I graduated with a degree in computer engineering from Tribhuvan University, IOE, Pulchowk Campus in Nepal. In the past, I have also worked with UNICEF Nepal and local partners on projects that include efficient information dissemination and data collection based on mobile technologies, automated interactive surveys and data analytics. I was also an AI Fellow at Fusemachines.
