I am a Ph.D. candidate in robotics at Northwestern University Center for Robotics and Biosystems, advised by Prof. Todd Murphey. I also collaborate with Dr. Pete Trautman at Honda Research Institute, with whom I developed the algorithm and software for a five-month, large-scale field deployment of robot navigation in human crowds in Santa Cruz, CA.

My research centers around on-device robot learning, enabling energy-efficient, self-reliant, and privacy-preserving robot autonomy, relying solely on the onboard perception and computation resources. My work intersects with algorithmic decision-making, optimization, machine learning, and real-world robot deployment. Applications of my work include robot navigation, autonomous exploration, multi-agent cooperation, robot manipulation, 3D perception, and soft robot control.

I’m currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities in robotics. If my background sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!
