My Curiosities and History

My name is Jonathan Koch and I am a Research Scientist in Robotics and AI Engineer with expertise in Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, and NLP. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of South Florida, with a concentration in Robotics and AI. I am passionate about leveraging AI and robotics technologies for the betterment of society. My research focus has been in learning representations of sensory data in armed robotics for enabling sophisticated manipulation tasks.

Much of the work that has inspired me includes the itinerary of Sergey Levine from RAIL, Multi-Agent Emergent Tool Use from OpenAI, Human Representation Learning from Dr. Angela Radulescu at Princeton, and Generative Agents from Stanford Lab.

My passions outside of Computer Science include classical music, many years of playing the guitar, and practicing grappling in the beautiful art of brazilian ju-jistu. I also find inspiration in the nostolagic game of Minecraft, and much of my work in this field has stemmed from my interest in this game (join my SMP server: mc.jonathankoch.dev).
