Srikar Babu Gadipudi
Hello! I am a PhD student in EECS at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Claire Tomlin and Prof. Somayeh Sojoudi. I am interested in reinforcement learning and its applications to real-world systems, from multi-agent robotics to LLMs, with a focus on safety, scalability and offline learning.
Previously, I completed my bachelor’s at IIT Madras. During this time, I am grateful to have worked with Prof. Katia Sycara, Prof. Hatice Gunes and Prof. Rachel Kalaimani.
