Summary
George Velentzas is a research-focused engineer blending an MEng in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with advanced studies in applied mathematics and data science, and nine years of hands-on experience in reinforcement learning and robotics. Currently a Research Intern at NTUA's Intelligent Robotics and Automation Laboratory, he designs and implements RL algorithms for the EU-funded BabyRobot project, integrating computational neuroscience perspectives with practical behavioral robotics. His toolkit spans Bayesian methods (Gaussian Processes, GP-UCB), memory-augmented networks and deep learning architectures (LSTM, RNN, NTM, GAN), and formal frameworks like MDPs/PAMDPs and multi-armed bandits. Having trained at Vrije Universiteit Brussel's EurAI summer school and held research roles across Sorbonne, KCL and industry, he bridges rigorous research with applied ML engineering. Notably, he complements algorithmic design with memory augmentation and adaptation strategies, reflecting a strong interest in biologically inspired, sample-efficient learning.
