Ekechi Nzewi

Ekechi Nzewi is a junior at Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in computer science with a focus on intelligence and devices. This is his second year at RISS. He aims to focus on using reinforcement learning to train smart agents capable of solving complex problems. By applying reinforcement learning towards devices, autonomous agents can be created, which leverage the learning capabilities of reinforcement learning to generate novel solutions for problems. He is excited to work with Dr. George Kantor this summer. Dr. Kantor works in the Field Robotics Center. Last summer, Ekechi worked with Dr. Kantor on computer vision pipeline for a robotics harvester. Ekechi is excited to return to Pittsburgh for another year of RISS and would like to take this moment to thank the sponsors, organizers, and mentors who made this possible. He looks forward to meeting everyone and having another great summer at Carnegie Mellon.
