Darshan Patil PhD student at MILA/University of Montreal.

I am a fourth year PhD student at MILA—Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and University of Montreal. I am supervised by Professor Sarath Chandar.

I am interested in developing lifelong learning agents that are able to adapt and respond to a variety of situations and inputs. I am currently working on better understanding the dynamics and challenges of nonstationary optimization of neural networks. I also work on continual learning of protein language models and reinforcement learning.

Before coming to MILA, I was a researcher at CMU where I was fortunate to work with some amazing professors and colleagues. I worked with Professor Tom Mitchell on creating compositional agents, Professor Katerina Fragkiadaki on using 3D features to improve learning of physical concepts, and Professor Matt Gormley on creating a framework for Neural Architecture search.

In my free time, I like to do puzzlehunts, read fantasy, or just throw a frisbee around.
