I am an assistant professor at CSE in Georgia Tech, where I lead 
STACX Lab. I am also affiliated with Google DeepMind as a senior staff research scientist.
My principal research interest lies on Agent AI upon Generative Models, Representation, and Reinforcement Learning, aiming for creating agents with decision-making and planning ability through modeling the world.
