Biography

Hi, I am Max, a PhD student in the CamRAL Group, supervised by Rika Antonova and David Abel. My research is generously supported by a full scholarship from the Department of Computer Science and Technology and a grant from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).

I recently completed a Master of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, and was a member of the Autonomous Agents Research Group from 2021. During my time there, I was fortunate to be supervised by David Abel and Stefano Albrecht. I also studied at the University of Pennsylvania. 

My website is https://max-tamborski.github.io/ 

Research

I am interested in real-world autonomous agents through the lens of reinforcement learning, bounded agency, and the co-design of hardware and policy learning. In particular, I’m interested in:

  1. How can robots adapt their behaviour depending on the resources they have?
  2. Given fixed resources, how can robots jointly evolve their control policies and physical designs to maximise their performance across tasks and environments?
