Excited to be in San Diego next week for #NeurIPS2025 🎉!
Will present Adversarial Diffusion for Robust RL together with @DanieleFoffano. Poster session on Fri 5 Dec 7:30 p.m. EST, Exhibit Hall C,D,E.
AD-RRL uses diffusion models to train Robust RL policies.

Honored to be named a Top Reviewer (10%) for #NeurIPS2025 🎉.
I’ll be in San Diego and happy to meet! I’ll also be with @DanieleFoffano presenting our latest on Robust RL with Diffusion Models arxiv.org/abs/2509.2.... Ping me if you want to chat on RL.

80⭐️ on a tiny repo on data-driven control I put out during my PhD!
PyDeePC is a tiny Python implementation of Data-enabled Predictive Control. It is model-free, quick to try, easy to learn. Feedback welcome!

Interested in #RL, #bandits, and #learning in general?
This is a collection of interesting papers (and books) that I have read so far or want to read. Note that the list is not up-to-date.
