RAIL Group Members
The RAIL Group is comprised of Prof. Gregory J. Stein and his students. In addition to graduate student mentorship, Prof. Stein is an active mentor for the GMU ASSIP program, for which he advises 3–4 high school students each year in summer research.
Assistant Prof.
Gregory J. Stein
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at George Mason University. My research, at the intersection of robotics and machine learning, is centered around developing representations that allow robots to better understand the impact of their actions, so that they may plan quickly and intelligently in a dynamic and uncertain world. I have received awards for my work and teaching, including Best Paper Finalist and Best Oral Presentation at the 2018 Conference on Robot Learning.
Feel free to get in touch on twitter and learn more about my work at my lab website.
