Evan Z. Liu
Researcher @ Imbue
Hi! I work on building machine learning agents that can reason and code at Imbue.
Previously, I completed my PhD at Stanford University, advised by Chelsea Finn. My thesis focused on building pratical agents that can quickly solve new tasks by leveraging prior experience on related tasks via meta-reinforcement learning.
I spend most of my free time trying not to pull too hard on plastic or real rock (rock climbing). I'd love to climb with you!
