David Szepesvari

I am currently a PhD student at the Computing Science Department of the University of Alberta, under the supervision of Dale Schuurmans.

Before this, I worked at Google DeepMind as a Research Engineer, working across a number of domains with a focus on reinforcement learning. I completed my Masters in the Computational Statistics group at the University of Waterloo in 2015, under the supervision of Shai Ben-David, also working closely with my father. My thesis, titled "A Statistical Analysis of the Aggregation of Crowdsourced Labels", is accessible here.

Lately, outside of AI, I enjoy trying my hand at building physical things and racing my car at local RallyCross events. I also enjoy hiking, biking, and climbing -- and I sometimes even jog. The Projects tab has a couple programming projects from over 10 years ago. I'll perhaps update them some day, but for now it will be a relic of the past :)

Special thanks Neeraj Kumar for sharing the template of his website.
