Doina Precup, an American computer scientist and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst under advisor Richard Sutton in 2000 [1]. In July 2000 she joined the School of Computer Science at McGill University. Doina Precup’s research interests lie mainly in the field of machine learning. She is especially interested in the learning problems that face a decision-maker interacting with a complex, uncertain environment [2] .
