Simon Roy is a PhD student in computer engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and Mila, supervised by Professor Giovanni Beltrame. He received his Bachelor's degree with honors in Software Engineering from the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in December 2024. He is interested in autonomous robotics and space exploration.
Current Work
- World models — learned representations of environmental dynamics for planning and decision-making in autonomous systems.
- Action compression for world models — compact encodings of action spaces that make world-model-based planning tractable in real time.
- Humanoid robotics — applying world models and compressed action spaces to planning and control for humanoid robots.
