About Me
My name is Alexey Zakharov, and I am a PhD student at the Whiteson Research Lab at the University of Oxford, where I am supervised by Prof Shimon Whiteson. I am also currently a Research Scientist Intern at Meta, working on robotics and dexterous manipulation. Previously, I was at Five AI researching autonomous driving using VLAs.
My research focuses on building adaptive agents that can safely navigate complex environments to achieve desired outcomes. I am particularly interested in model-based reinforcement learning, VLAs, and foundation models.
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.
