About
I am a final year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington advised by Abhishek Gupta. My research focuses on robot learning through the lens of deep reinforcement learning and world models. Previously, I completed my BSE in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where I was fortunate to work with Oleh Rybkin, Kostas Daniilidis, and Sergey Levine. I have been honored to receive the Amazon AI Fellowship, the UW-Amazon Fellowship, the John Grist Brainerd Award, and Honorable Mention for CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Research Award.
Some of my other interests include tennis, bouldering, cycling, and taking purposeless walks. Here is the most recent walk I took.
Flaneur: a person of leisure, deliberately aimless, simply wandering the streets and soaking in the city.
