À propos

I’m an AI Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge, working on causal foundation models. Previously, I pursued my PhD at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Shimon Whiteson, focusing on reinforcement learning — specifically, sample-efficient RL, exploration, unsupervised RL, foundation models, and multi-agent RL. Throughout my doctoral journey, I interned at research labs including Google Waymo, working on autonomous driving simulators; NVIDIA Research, working on foundation models for RL; and Microsoft Research, contributing to foundation models for gaming. Beyond my professional pursuits, I find solace in road trips, hiking, and outdoor adventures. For more information, please visit my personal page: https://tarungupta.in.
