My name is Esra'a, pronounced " Ess-raa' ". I love tackling new challenges and collaborating with all kinds of interesting people along the way. I am a Canadian Computer Science Masters student at the University of Alberta, affiliated with AMII (Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute) and RLAI (Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence Lab).

• 🔭 I’m currently working on designing a Model-Based Reinforcement Learning algorithm for fast adaptation in complex and seemingly changing worlds.
• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on Jax based implentations of meta-learning algorithms for reinforcment learning! There simply isn't enough out there in the open source world and we need this to be able to build more reliable scientific foundations for future research.
• ⚡ Fun fact: I am a downhill skiing enthusiast. One of my dreams is try all the major North American ski hills at least once.

(Note that this profile is under construction, so a lot of what's in here that is public is fairly old work that skews towards hackathons. I should be releasing my more recent research-related work soon, stay tuned :) )
