Jens Tuyls
Computer Science PhD Student (final year)
I am currently part of the Princeton NLP group, where I am advised by Professor Karthik Narasimhan. My research focuses on building decision-making agents, mainly using ideas from reinforcement learning (RL), imitation learning (IL), and natural language processing (NLP). To this end, I also closely collaborate with Professor Benjamin Eysenbach as part of the Princeton RL Lab.
Bio: I studied Computer Science and Engineering at UC Irvine, where I was fortunate to work with Professor Sameer Singh on interpretability in NLP, and with Professor Stephan Mandt and Professor Mike Pritchard on AI for climate. Now, I’m a final-year PhD student in the Princeton NLP group.
