Allan Zhou

I am a PhD student in computer science (artificial intelligence) at Stanford University, advised by Chelsea Finn. I am supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

My research interests include meta-learning, reinforcement learning, and applied machine learning for robotics.

Previously I was a Google AI resident researching machine learning and robotics. I received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
