Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRupali Bhati is a PhD student and independent reinforcement learning researcher based in Boston with eight years of experience applying RL across healthcare, energy, finance, and multi-agent settings. Her work spans academic research at Northeastern, Université Laval and Mila, plus industry impact—using DQN to boost HVAC efficiency by over 70% and developing risk-averse CARL framed as a Stackelberg game. She teaches and mentors regularly, translating complex RL concepts into workshops and courses for students and professionals. Projects include disentangling non-stationarity in multi-agent games like Diplomacy and interpretable clinical models using GBDTs with SHAP, revealing a blend of theoretical depth and practical interpretability. Colleagues describe her as a researcher who pairs rigorous theory with hands-on solutions that drive measurable operational gains.
