Jonathan Zamora

I am an MS in Computer Science student at USC, and I am graduating in May 2025.

I recently completed my undergraduate studies at UC San Diego, where I earned a BS in Computer Science in June 2023.

I am advised by Prof. Yue Wang at USC, and have worked under Prof. Xiaolong Wang at UC San Diego. I am interested in building intelligent agents capable of generalization, long-horizon planning and control, and continuous adaptation in diverse and complex environments. To this end, my research interests include deep reinforcement learning, imitation learning, robotics, computer vision, and machine learning.

Outside of research and classes, I enjoy doing leadership and outreach activities which promote Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
