Profile Photo

I am a first year Computer Science PhD student at the University of Minnesota, advised by Professor Zhu-Tian Chen. My research interests are robot manipulation and learning. I aim to improve both low-level visuomotor control and high-level reasoning and planning in robots by rethinking how robot data and policies are designed.

Previously, I received a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Carleton College, and M.S. in Computer Science from Brown University.

My favorite : Colorado 🏔️
