Major / recent publications
Samuel N. Cohen, Jackson Hebner, Deqing Jiang, and Justin Sirignano. "Neural actor-critic methods for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDEs: Asymptotic analysis and numerical studies." Preprint ID arXiv:2507.06428, July 2025.
Research interests
My research is focused on machine learning methods for stochastic control. My first project concerned the wide-limit training dynamics of an actor-critic algorithm for the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. More recently, I have been looking into stochastic control problems on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
