Marc Deisenroth
Marc joined the group in December 2011 as a Senior Research Scienctist & Group Leader: Learning for Control.
From February 2010 to December 2011, Marc has been a full-time Research Associate in Dieter Fox' lab at the University of Washington (Seattle). Marc completed his Ph.D. at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (Germany) with Uwe D. Hanebeck. Marc conducted his Ph.D. research under Carl Edward Rasmussen's supervision at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics (2006–2007) and at the University of Cambridge (2007–2009).
Marc's research interests center around methodologies from modern Bayesian statistics and their application to control and autonomous robotic systems. Marc's goal is to make robotic and control systems more autonomous by efficiently using available information.
Research Interests
- Machine Learning: Gaussian processes, Reinforcement learning, Approximate inference, Graphical models, Active learning/optimal design
