I used to jump. And was actually decent at it.
Hi hello!
I am a Ph.D. student in robotics. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Maxim Likhachev , and Professor Jiaoyang Li . I had the pleasure of working with Professor Sebastian Scherer during my first year at CMU. We focused on applying deep learning for visual odometry estimation.
Previously, I was a student at MIT working in CSAIL at
Nicholas Roy’s
Robust Robotics Group , and I was fortunate to play with robots spend time at
Indoor Robotics,
Amazon Robotics, and
Optimus Ride.
Robot Motivation
I am excited by a future where robot teams aid humans in transportation, agriculture, logistics, and other domains. To make this a reality, we need algorithms that scale better in dimension and in system-size. My focus is on developing algorithms that utilize geometric principles, multimodal deep learning, and planning on graphs for improving single- and multi-agent robot systems operating in the real world.
