Vanya Cohen
Ph.D. Student
I am a third-year Ph.D. student advised by Ray Mooney. My research integrates robotics, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning to help robots work collaboratively with humans. I was previously a master’s student advised by Stefanie Tellex and George Konidaris at Brown University.
