Adam's Oh-Fish-al Website
I am on the technical staff at OpenAI, where I research techniques to realize general purpose robotic intelligence.
I completed my PhD in Computer Science & Engineering from The Allen School at The University of Washington, where I was co-advised by Dieter Fox and Byron Boots. My PhD thesis was focused on leveraging large-scale imitation learning to train end-to-end deep models for closed-loop manipulator control in complex, partially observable environments. You can find my dissertation defense slides here.
Previously, I worked as a Computer Vision Engineer at Oculus VR. While there, I helped build the SLAM system for Oculus Quest.
I like to ride bikes, hike with my dog, and make pizza.
