About me
I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania advised by Professor Dinesh Jayaraman. I received my MS and BS from the University of Southern California, where I was advised by Professor Joseph J. Lim. In the past, I served as a tech lead at Code The Change developing software for nonprofits and interned at Tesla and Intel.
Research
I am interested in developing data-driven, robotic perception and control algorithms. I am specifically interested in imitation learning, model-based reinforcement learning, and representation learning for manipulation tasks.
