about

I am a PhD student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Jean Oh. My research generally spans robot learning, reinforcement learning, and physics simulations.


Previously, I completed my B.S. in Mathematics & B.S. in Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech, where I worked with Charlie Kemp and Sonia Chernova. In that time, I worked with Abhinav Gupta at Carnegie Mellon University, and was part of RISS (2020, remotely) as well. Moreover, I was fortunate to collaborate with Zackory Erickson, Sam Powers, and Victoria Dean.


If you'd be interested in working with me, feel free to reach out!
