Chaitanya Amballa

241, Coordinated Science Laboratory

I am a graduate student of the SyNRG lab in the ECE department at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Romit Roy Choudhury.

Prior to joining UIUC, I worked as a Researcher at TCS Research, Hyderabad for about 3 years. I completed my undergraduate in Electrical Engineering from Indian Insitute of Technology Tirupati (IIT Tirupati) in 2019. I've had the pleasure to work with Prof. K. P. Naveen for my undergraduate thesis.

Research

My research interests are broadly in the mix of reinforcement learning, signal processing and online learning. I'm interested in understanding and developing reliable decisions with guarantees for various real-world problems. Although, I'm driven by the application of these technologies to solve real-world problems, I'm fairly interested in understanding and contributing on the theoretical front to these applications. Currently, I'm working on generating 2D floor plans of indoor environments using trajectory and WiFi data.
