Lakshita Dodeja

Hi! I am Lakshita, a third year PhD student at Brown University where I am advised by Prof. Stefanie Tellex and also work with Prof. George Konidaris. Currently, I am interning at the Robotics and AI Institute working on improving IL policies for robot manipulation using RL. I am interested in developing sample-efficient reinforcement learning methods, with a focus on uncertainty quantification and human-in-the-loop learning.

Previously, I completed my Master's in Computer Science at Georgia Tech with a specialisation in Computational Perception and Robotics where I worked in the CORE Robotics Lab advised by Prof. Matthew Gombolay. During my Master’s I worked on Human-Robot Interaction specifically on distilling strategic intent of users from unstructured natural language commands and designing user centric strategy recommendation systems for Human-AI tasks.

I have also worked as Software Development Engineer at Amazon in the Prime Verification Team. I did my undergrad studies from NIT Kurukshetra, India where I worked with Prof. Mayank Dave on Digital Image Watermarking and Wireless Networks.
