Welcome! My name is Agustin, I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Previously, I earned in 2021 the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidad de la República, in Uruguay, where I was advised by Prof. Juan Bazerque.

I am currently working on developing theory and applications of Reinforcement Learning for safety-critical systems.
