👨‍💻 I'm Jacob Pettit, and I work on reinforcement learning research. My GitHub account houses my personal projects.

I also blog at Welcome to My Brain and at The Merge.

• 🤖 Multiagent RL. Both collaborative and competitive.
• 💪 Robust RL. Can we make RL handle changes in its environment, such as noise in observations and in environment dynamics?
• 🧬 Sequence optimization. Think DNA/RNA/amino acid optimization and mathematical expression optimization.
• 💉 mRNA vaccines (and the COVID vaccine)!

• 🔬 ML for bio

• 🔬 Biology - Protein folding, mRNA, and the COVID vaccine! DeepMind's AlphaFold release and the exciting science of the COVID vaccine inspired me to learn more about them.
• 💻 JavaScript, JAX in Python, and SWE best practices.
