Summary
Sanjiban Choudhury is a researcher-engineer bridging academia and industry with nine years of experience building decision-making and imitation learning systems for robotics and interactive AI. As an Assistant Professor at Cornell and a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI (with prior senior research roles at Aurora), he focuses on RLHF, IRL, and foundation models that enable agents to self-align through few-shot human and environmental interactions. His work spans theory and production—publishing ICLR and ICML papers on hybrid inverse reinforcement learning and LLM agent reward models while shipping foundation models for self-driving prediction and planning. He’s particularly interested in using privileged AI feedback and process reward models to make multi-turn code generation and continual self-improvement practical. Trained at Carnegie Mellon, he blends rigorous algorithmic foundations with applied system-building across robotics, autonomy, and large-model agents.
