About Me
Hey there! I am a third year undergraduate studying computer science at the Allen School in the University of Washington, Seattle. I am fortunate to be advised by Abhishek Gupta in the WEIRD Lab. My broad research interests are in robotics, reinforcement learning, and computer vision. Recently, I've been focused on reducing the need for manual data collection to enable scalable robot learning for long-horizon, diverse, and complex tasks. At the Allen Institute for AI, I worked on the PRIOR team as a student researcher.
Alongside my research, I enjoy teaching, I have TA'ed Computer Vision (CSE455) and Discrete Mathematics (CSE311) multiple times.
