<p>
I'm an incoming PhD student at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor <a href="https://faculty.cc.gatech.edu/~danfei/">Danfei Xu</a>. Prior to this, I was a postbaccalaureate researcher at <a href="https://bair.berkeley.edu/">Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR)</a>, where I have been fortunate to be advised by Professor <a href="http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~malik/">Jitendra Malik</a>, Professor <a href="http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~trevor/">Trevor Darrell</a>, and <a href="https://roeiherz.github.io/">Dr. Roei Herzig</a>. I am also fortunate to work with <a href="https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ilija/">Ilija Radosavovic</a>. I graduated with with a double major in <a href="http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/">EECS</a> and <a href="https://math.berkeley.edu/home/">Applied Mathematics</a> from the University of California, Berkeley 2025. I am interested in long-term goal of building general-purpose humanoid robots.

<!-- <p>
My research focuses on the long-term goal of building general-purpose humanoid robots. My current work specializes in learning humanoid locomotion, tracking and bimanual manipulation using deep reinforcement learning. I am eager to expand this work using task-agnostic representation learning, vision-based control, and test-time planning for long-horizon tasks. I believe that safe, practical generalization to novel contexts and environments is achieved through (i) visuomotor foundation models trained in (ii) simulation at scale, combined with (iii) vision-based planning using a learnt dynamics model of the world.
