Preston Fu

I'm an incoming PhD student at the University of Washington advised by Abhishek Gupta. My research is graciously supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I'm interested in building efficiently adaptable systems via large-scale RL.

Previously, I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley advised by Sergey Levine and Aviral Kumar.
