Thomas Reeves III

Ph.D Student, Computer Science
Computer Science Department
University of Southern California

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Network Reconnaissance Lab at the University of Southern California (USC), advised by Prof. Corey Baker. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning and wireless networks. More broadly, I am interested in robot learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and related topics. I have been honored to receive the GEM Fellowship twice. Previously, I earned my M.S. in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) at USC, where I worked in the USC Learning and Interactive Autonomy Lab (LiraLab) advised by Prof. Erdem Bıyık, and in the USC iLab advised by Prof. Laurent Itti. I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at UC Irvine, where I worked in the Intelligent Dynamics Lab advised by Prof. Roy Fox.
