PhD Title: Behaviour-Consistent Policy Transfer: Correcting Behavioural Drift Across the Sim-to-Real Gap in Reinforcement Learning

Abel-Emanuel's research investigates how reinforcement learning policies can preserve intended behavioural characteristics when transferred from simulation to real-world systems. The work focuses on identifying and correcting behavioural drift during deployment, with the aim of developing more reliable and adaptable autonomous systems.
