Dilith Jayakody

PhD student, Computer Science at Dalhousie University. Researching with Prof. Janarthanan Rajendran.

I work on how reinforcement learning agents can learn their own intrinsic rewards to become more sample-efficient. Before Dal, I completed my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Moratuwa and lectured there on a contract basis.
