I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Yuke Zhu, and I am a member of the Robot Perception and Learning Lab. My research interests span the fields of Robotics and Machine Learning. My research goal is to develop algorithms that facilitate efficient robot learning via human-robot partnership, and to build scalable, trustworthy robotics systems for long-term deployment.
I previously did my undergraduate in Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was affiliated with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab. I had the pleasure to work with Professor Sergey Levine and Professor Costas Spanos.
