Before his position in Innsbruck, Samuele earned his PhD at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) under the supervision of Prof. Jan Peters, followed by a postdoctoral position at the Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence (RLAI) laboratory at the University of Alberta (Canada). Despite recent progress in the field, autonomous learning remains sample-inefficient and challenging to apply in the real world. Samuele's research is focused on making reinforcement learning more efficient by analyzing and revising its core components and developing techniques that embed assumptions that better capture the complexity of the physical world.</td></tr></table><table class=keynotes><tr><td class=keynote-image-cell><img src=/RL4AA26/people/tbd.svg alt=TBA style=width:70%;border-radius:9999px><br><a href><b>TBA</b></a><br><b>-</b><br>-</td><td class=keynote-description-cell><h4>Abstract</h4>Talk description coming soon!</td></tr></table><h2 id=impressions-from-rl4aa25>Impressions from RL4AA'25</h2><p>Here are some impressions from the previous RL4AA workshop in Hamburg in April 2025.
