Matthew Hyatt

I'm a PhD student at Loyola University Chicago, where I work on robot learning. I am affiliated with AISEC and the Software Systems Laboratory. My work is supervised by Mohammed Abuhamad and George Thiruvathukal.

Research Interests: I am interested in self supervised methods for imitation learning, continual improvement, and learning from human behavior. While it is common to use these techniques to improve generalization in unseen environments, I intend to improve the capability of robots to become increasingly capable in familiar environments.
