Theresa Eimer
Researcher at the Insitutite of AI Hannover
I am a researcher at the Leibniz University of Hannover currently working towards my PhD. I focus on making Reinforcement Learning agents more general by dynamically adapting their behavior. I’m interested in all things AutoRL, especially dynamic algorithm configuration for RL and curriculum learning, as well as generalization in RL.
I completed my master’s degree in computer science in 2019 at the University of Freiburg under the supervision of Prof. Frank Hutter. Since 2020 I’ve been a PhD candidate in Hannover supervised by Prof. Marius Lindauer. I have interned at MetaAI in London in 2022/23. If you want to chat (about research or otherwise), feel free to book a slot in my calendar!
