Hi there!

I am Tanzina Taher Ifty, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA. I am currently serving as a Graduate Success Fellow in the College of Engineering and Computing through a Graduate Professional Assistant appointment. My doctoral research is conducted under the supervision of Professor Dr. Daigo Shishika. My research focuses on game-theoretic approaches to robot learning and decision-making, particularly for multi-agent interaction, strategic reasoning, and robust behavior in uncertain environments. In addition to robotics, I have experience in computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), which complement my work in developing versatile and adaptive AI systems.

For additional information, please see the CV and publications.
