Srikar Babu Gadipudi

I am an incoming PhD student in EECS at the University of California, Berkeley, where I will be advised by Prof. Somayeh Sojoudi. I recently completed my bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (with a minor in Artificial Intelligence) at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras). My academic and research interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning (RL) and control theory. I am particularly interested in multi-agent systems, offline RL and safety and robustness in control.

Some of my previous work includes researching offline RL for informative path planning with Prof. Katia Sycara, optimal dynamic pricing using RL in competitive markets with Prof. Rachel Kalaimani and identifying causal relations between robot actions and human perception with Prof. Hatice Gunes. For a comprehensive overview of my research background, please refer to my CV.
