About
I am a PhD student studying robotics at Caltech in the Amber Lab; before that I was an undergraduate student in Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech.
My main interests are in robot learning, RL, legged robots, and manipulation. I’ve done lots of work on dynamic humanoid locomotion through sim-to-real RL. I’ve also worked on perceptive and multi-skill locomotion policies. Some tools/methods I’ve used include flow matching, off-policy and on-policy RL, transformers, massively parallelized simulation, depth cameras, and much more.
Ever since 4th grade, when I built my first Lego robots, I have been interested in robotics. In high school I competed in FRC, and at Georgia Tech I continued my robotics education through classes and my work at the AREAL Lab. In the AREAL lab I worked on autonomous flight systems such as quadcopters. Beyond my academic experience, I have worked in industry at Left Hand Robotics (now a part of Toro) where we designed autonomous snow clearing and lawn mowing robots.
