Richard Hoffmann

Hey! I’m Richard, a third-year undergrad at Caltech studying Computer Science and minoring in Control & Dynamical Systems. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Adam Wierman.

Broadly, I’m interested in embodied AI. My work involves reinforcement learning, decision-making, large language models, and spatial intelligence. Right now, I’m researching scalable multi-agent RL! I’m also working on LLM post-training to prove polynomial inequalities under Prof. Tony Yue Yu at Caltech. In the past, I worked under Dr. Alec Reed at CU Boulder’s Autonomous Robotics Lab on predictive vehicle dynamics.

I have interned at Amazon AWS in Seattle and Commerzbank in New York City working on software development.
