Seohong Park

[Pronunciation: "suh-hong" ("Seo" as in "Seoul")]

Hello! I am a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley advised by Sergey Levine. I am interested in developing better reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms and understanding their mathematical properties. More specifically, I am currently working on unsupervised RL, goal-conditioned RL, and offline RL.
