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.
The goal of my research is to create self-sufficient autonomous agents that can explore and cooperate in arbitrary environments. My work intersects with algorithmic decision-making, optimization, and machine learning. Applications of my work include social navigation, autonomous exploration, robot manipulation, 3D perception, and soft robot control. Here is my research statement.
Please check out my CV, Google Scholar, and GitHub.
