Jan Peters is a full professor (W3) for Intelligent Autonomous Systems at the Computer Science Department of the Technische Universitaet Darmstadt and at the same time a senior research scientist and group leader at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where he heads the interdepartmental Robot Learning Group. Jan Peters has received the Dick Volz Best 2007 US PhD Thesis Runner-Up Award, the 2012 Robotics: Science & Systems - Early Career Spotlight, the 2013 INNS Young Investigator Award, and the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society‘s 2013 Early Career Award. In 2015, he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant.
Jan Peters has studied Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical and Control Engineering at TU Munich and FernUni Hagen in Germany, at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Southern California (USC), and been an visiting researcher at the ATR Telecomunications Research Center in Japan. He has received four Master‘s degrees in these disciplines as well as a Computer Science Ph.D. from USC.
While I remain affliated with MPI, I am now also a full professor at TU Darmstadt. If you are interested in working with me, please apply through my http://www.ausy.tu-darmstadt.de/Main/OpenPositions but please refrain sending me applications by email -- they will get lost in my email.

Jan Peters is a full professor at Darmstadt University of Technology (TU Darmstadt) heading the intelligent systems group while still being affliated with the MPI heading the robot learning lab.
Jan Peters joined the Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in April 2007 as a research scientist. Before joining MPI, Jan Peters studied Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. He graduated from the University of Hagen in 2000 with a Diplom-Informatiker (German M.Sc. in Computer Science) and from Munich University of Technology in 2001 with a Diplom-Ingenieur in Electrical Engineering (German M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering). In 2000-2001, he spent two semesters as visiting student at National University of Singapore. In 2002, he completed a M.Sc. in Computer Science and, in 2005, a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering both from USC. He joined USC's Computer Science Ph.D. program and the CLMC Lab in Fall 2001. Jan Peters has been a visiting research student at the Department of Robotics at the German Aerospace Research Center in Germany, at Siemens Advanced Engineering in Singapore and at the Department of Humanoid Robotics and Computational Neuroscience at the Advanded Telecommunication Research (ATR) Center in Japan. Jan Peters graduated from University of Southern California with a Ph.D. in Computer Science in March 2007. He remains affiliated with the CLMC Lab as an adjunct researcher.

Reinforcement learning ranks among the biggest challenges for machine learning. Just controlling a known dynamical system is hard on its own -- interacting with an unknown system poses even harder decision problems, such as the infamous exploration-exploitation tradeoff. Most research in this area is still conï¬ned to theoretical...
