πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Costa, a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Drexel University studying Game Artificial Intelligence. I enjoy doing research and conducting super cool experiments!

I use Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to train bots to play games autonomously!

Our trained agent learned to play breakout!!

My bot learns to play volleyball through self-play

My more recent work focuses on scaling DRL to Real-time Strategy (RTS) games, in collaboration with my advisor Santiago OntaΓ±Γ³n.

Let's safely land our shuttle to the lunar surface. Gotta be steady and precise!

Have some fun with a car racing game!

A simulated RTS game. The white, green block and circles are bases, resources, and workers. The purpose of the game is to gather resources, build an army and destroy enemy forces.

You can easily use my DRL library CleanRL to train the agents to play all of the games above.
