Iman Sharifi

Robotics, Control, and AI Researcher

About

As a diligent, determined, and self-motivated researcher, my interests lie at the intersection of Robotics, Control, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision. I have a strong passion for using cutting-edge AI algorithms like Neuro-Symbolic Reinforcement Learning in the decision-making and Control phase of Cyber-Physical Systems like Autonomous Driving, and use innovative ideas in Computer Vision for the perception phase.
