Assistant Professor
Gregory J. Stein

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at George Mason University. My research, at the intersection of robotics and machine learning, is centered around developing representations that allow robots to better understand the impact of their actions, so that they may plan quickly and intelligently in a dynamic and uncertain world. I have received awards for my work and teaching, including Best Paper Finalist and Best Oral Presentation at the 2018 Conference on Robot Learning.

Feel free to get in touch on twitter and learn more about my work at my lab website.


PhD Student
Abhishek Paudel

I am a Computer Science PhD student at George Mason University. My research interests are in the areas of robotics and machine learning. I’m interested in improving the robot’s abilities to adapt to multiple environments through policy selection during deployment.
