Oliver Harold Joergensen, PhD Candidate

“I chose the Research Stream to focus on Reinforcement Learning (RL), which has the potential to revolutionise industries through super-human performance. My thesis aims to enhance the robustness of RL methods for real-world applications. Studying at RMIT fuelled my passion for the field and led to a PhD position at Dalhousie University, where I plan to explore model-based RL and contribute to meaningful breakthroughs.”
