Hello. I'm a PhD student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm currently a member of Kantor Lab, where I am advised by Prof. George Kantor. Previously, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dave Held in the Robots Perceiving and Doing Lab (RPAD), also at CMU. My general research interests are at the intersection of perception and control. Specifically, I center on the control of robotic systems through model-based machine learning to study how machines can be given greater, safer autonomy.

During my undergraduate study, I was advised by Sergey Levine and mentored by Nick Rhinehart at the Robotic AI & Learning Lab (RAIL) in UC Berkeley.
