Amber Li

Hi! I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professors David Held and Maxim Likhachev. Previously I received my B.S. and M.Eng. in computer science from MIT, where I was a part of the Learning and Intelligent Systems Group and worked with Tom Silver, advised by Leslie Kaelbling. I have also spent some time as a software engineer at Two Sigma. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and playing the violin.

Research

I'm broadly interested in creating intelligent embodied agents that can learn and act in dynamic environments over long time horizons.
