Hello :wave:,
it’s great that you found me here! My name is Marcel Hussing and I am a fifth-year PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2021, I joined the Lifelong Machine Learning group where I am advised by Prof. Eric Eaton. I am broadly speaking interested in what I call reliable sequential decision making and my research has particularly focused on the problem of stability in reinforcement learning.

My work ranges from learning theory over neural network training to deployment of machine learning on real hardware. At Penn, I had the great fortune to collaborate with and learn from some amazing people including but not limited to Michael Kearns, Aaron Roth, CJ Taylor and Pratik Chaudhari and many others.

Last year, I was a research intern with Microsoft Research in New York working with John Langford’s team on abstract planning for goal-conditioned transformers. Currently, I’m interning at Meta FAIR working with the JEPA team including Mido Assran and Scott Fujimoto on bridging the gap between world models and robotic control.

:rotating_light: I am on the academic job market this fall! :rotating_light:
