Alex Zakharov

I am a PhD student at the Whiteson Research Lab at the University of Oxford, where I am supervised by Prof Shimon Whiteson.

My research focuses on building adaptive agents that can safely navigate complex environments to achieve desired outcomes. I am particularly interested in Bayesian model-based reinforcement learning, which I believe provides the natural basis for building robust and adaptive artificial agents that can deal with stochastic and partially-observable environments.

Previously, I worked as a research associate at Huawei 2012 Laboratories in London, focusing on Bayesian model-based RL, representation learning, and generative models. I hold a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Imperial College London.
