Researching the intersection of machine learning, robotics, and humans."> -->
Hello! My name is Trevor Ablett, and I'm a Staff Research Scientist at Boston Dynamics working on behavior learning for Atlas. I was previously a PhD student at the University of Toronto in the Space and Terrestrial Autonomous Robotic Systems Lab (STARS). I was advised by Jonathan Kelly. I investigated methods for improving the sample efficiency of imitation learning and reinforcement learning.
I'm originally from Thornhill, Ontario, in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area, not this). I've previously completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
When I'm not working on research, I'm usually exploring with my partner Christina, my son, and my dog Bowie.
