Seungeun (Ross) Rho

Hello! I’m a third-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech, and I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Sehoon Ha. I received my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science from Seoul National University. I also closely work with Dr. Xue Bin Peng and Dr. Danfei Xu. I am interested in reinforcement learning and its applications to robotics.
