Anh-Quan (Bill) Pham

You can just call me Bill or Quan.

Welcome to my website. Please feel free to read more about me, or you can check out my CV, projects, or contact me.

I am a second-year master's student in Robotics at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. My research centers on reinforcement learning (RL) as the foundation of Physical AI. I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Dinesh Jayaraman, Eric Eaton, and Kostas Daniilidis, and to collaborate closely with Professors Jorge Méndez-Méndez, Dani S. Bassett, and Osbert Bastani. Before that, I studied interpretable reinforcement learning at the A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research Singapore under Dr. Senthilnath Jayavelu. During my 2.5 (on-site) undergrad years at VinUniversity, I applied RL to next-generation telecommunication networks under Professor Van‑Dinh Nguyen, exploring resource allocation and network slicing.
