Alexey Melnikov | Personal Website

I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Theoretical Physics. I am working in Basel, Switzerland on quantum machine learning. My current interests are mainly in applying reinforcement learning techniques to physics problems, and in studying advantages of quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning agents.
