Michelangelo Conserva

Queen Mary University of London

Michelangelo Conserva is a second year PhD researcher studying principled exploration strategies in reinforcement learning. He is particularly interested in randomized exploration and, more generally, Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning. He holds a BSc in Statistics, Economics and Finance from Sapienza, University of Rome and an MSc in Computational Statistics and Machine learning from University College of London.

A description of Michelangelo's research:

As a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, Michelangelo aims to leverage Bayesian models to develop principled algorithms for reinforcement learning in the context of function approximations. The main challenge lies in finding a balance between computational costs and optimality. Evaluating such balance requires careful evaluation, which is currently lacking in reinforcement learning.
