Reza Ahmadzadeh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. He is a member of the Robot Autonomy and Interactive Learning (RAIL) research lab directed by Prof. Sonia Chernova. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Humanoid Sensing and Perception lab in the Department of iCub Facility at Italian Institute of Technology.

Reza earned his Ph.D. in "Robotic, Cognition, and Interaction Technologies" in 2015 jointly from the University of Genoa and Italian Institute of Technology. He also received a B.Sc. degree in Solid Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering in 2001, and an M.Sc. degree in Robotics and Control, Mechanical Engineering in 2004.

His research focuses on developing learning approaches to increasing the level of autonomy in robots, enabling non-experts to teach new skills to robots effortlessly, and being applicable to a wide range of robotic tasks. He has developed two new robot learning approaches, Visuospatial Skill Learning (2013) and Trajectory Learning with Generalized Cylinders (2016).
