Devdhar Patel
I am a Ph.D. Candidate at BINDS Lab in the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS). I am advised by Prof. Hava Siegelmann. The goal of my research is to bridge the gap between Artificial and Human Intelligence. Toward this goal, I am currently working on developing time-aware machine intelligence and understanding the benefits of time-awareness in control. I believe that agency is a fundamental aspect of general intelligence, which drives much of my research.
