Headshot of Jordan Dowdy

I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Louisville researching reinforcement learning in robotics.

I’m a member of Telos Lab at the University of Louisville.

I’m interested in learning-based methods that help robots adapt, act autonomously, and make better use of the signals available to them.

This site brings together my current research directions, publications, and selected academic work.
