Abigail (Abby) O'Neill

I’m a Computer Science PhD student at UC Berkeley, fortunate to be advised by Professor Narges Norouzi and Professor Joseph Gonzalez. I’m currently interested in multi-agent, long-horizon interaction and negotiation, particularly as they relate to training paradigms and the evolution of future AI systems.

Between undergrad and grad school, I spent time at Google DeepMind and AMD Research. My research is supported by a UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Fellowship and a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Please feel free to reach out.
