Ritabrata Ray

I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yorie Nakahira and Prof. Soummya Kar. I am interested in all theoretical aspects of Optimization, Control and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Recently, I have been working on safe-control and online learning for control.

I graduated with a Masters of Science from Cornell University where I was advised by Prof. Lang Tong. Prior to Cornell, I completed my undergraduate education from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur), India. Here, I was advised by Prof. Rogers Mathew and I used to work on problems in extremal combinatorics.

I have an Erdos number of 3.
