I'm a senior undergraduate student majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley. I'm a researcher at BAIR Lab at UC Berkeley with Prof. Jitendra Malik and Prof. Pieter Abbeel.

I'm fascinated by essentially all things intelligence/learning related—but in fear of my spontaneous combustion, I've strategically narrowed my focus to the following research areas in Reinforcement Learning and Robotics:

  • Generalized Humanoid Large Models with Whole Body Control: Humanoids need to master the art of not walking into walls while simultaneously juggling 29 different motor control objectives.
  • Efficient and effective World Model Agents: Building robotics policies that can imagine the future without having an existential crisis
  • Sample efficient RL algorithms for robotics skill acquisition: robots shouldn't need to fail a million times to learn how to pick up a coffee cup—that's a uniquely human privilege.
