Hello!

I am Bhrij (β€œBridge”) Patel. I am a third-year CS PhD student at the UMD - College Park. I am co-advised by Dr. Dinesh Manocha as part of the GAMMA lab and by Dr. Amrit Singh Bedi (UCF). My work focuses on connecting theory and practice for principled policy optimization for analyzing, advancing, and aligning learning-based agents and systems. Before my PhD, I graduated from Duke University (β€˜22) with a double major in CS and Math and a minor in Creative Writing. During my undergrad, I was advised by Dr. Cynthia Rudin in her Interpretable ML Lab.

My current research interests:

πŸ” I am currently looking for research or industry internships for Spring, Summer, and Fall 2025 in the areas of Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and/or LLM Systems. Feel free to reach out!
