Will Epperson

I am a Member of Technical Staff in Microsoft AI working on reinforcement learning environments and post-training for agents.

Previously, I was a part of the AI Frontiers group in Microsoft Research working on multi-agent systems, agent environments, and evaluation. I did my PhD in Human Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. My thesis was on Interactive Data Profiling systems that automatically help data scientists and AI developers better understand their data. My research has led to open-source tools adopted by the Python community and scientists, with publications and awards at venues such as IEEE VIS, EuroVis, and CHI. I've previously interned at Databricks, Microsoft Research, and Point72 Asset Management.
