Graduate Research Assistant
Surya Murthy is a Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is a member of the Autonomous Systems Group. He received his B.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. His research focuses on developing learning frameworks that enable autonomous agents to cooperate, adapt, and align objectives in multi-task and multi-agent settings. His recent work explores bargaining-based optimization methods for multi-objective reinforcement learning, modeling human preferences from feedback, and coordination mechanisms for large-scale autonomous systems.
