Hi!

I'm Hector, a junior at MIT studying EECS (6-2).
I build toward human-capable learning systems. To that end, my research interests are in reinforcement learning and continual learning. Previously, my work has played at the intersection of neuroscience and deep learning.
I pursue eudaimonia through the quest of contributing a gigayear to humanity. I am only interested in problems instrumental to this end.
I'm currently- - researching how to bake skepticism into robots in Improbable AI;
- - poring over datasheets to build modest electronics in 6.115;
- - and re-implementing RL papers in ARENA.
