Grace Liu

Hi I’m Grace. I’m a first-year PhD student in the MLD department at CMU. I’m interested in reinforcement learning and computational cognition applied to sustainability and societal decision making. I am very grateful to have been advised by Tom Griffiths, Rachit Dubey, Benjamin Eysenbach, and Gabe Vecchi during my undergrad and Master’s at Princeton. I am also fortunate to be supported by the NSF GRFP fellowship.
