About Me

Update: I am currently looking for a Fall 2025 internship related to Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, robot data augmentation, or reinforcement learning. Here is my resumé.

I am a Robotics PhD student at Georgia Tech in the Robotics Perception and Learning (RIPL) Lab, advised by Dr. Zsolt Kira, working on robot learning (imitation learning and reinforcement learning). I plan to graduate from my PhD in the Summer of 2026. My dissertation will be on robot data augmentation.

In the summer of 2023 I was an intern at Honda Research Institute working on deep learning-based dexterous manipulation under Jinda Cui and Soshi Iba. During my bachelor’s degree, I was an undergraduate research assistant in the Human Centered Robotics Lab where I was mentored by Dr. Luis Sentis and Dr. Gray Thomas. I spent my summers interning at SpaceX, Harmonic Bionics, and NASA JPL. Additionally, I spent a large amount of time co-founding and leading Longhorn Racing Electric. Currently, I have the pleasure of mentoring two masters students, Justin Wit and Thuan Nguyen. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, rock climbing, yoga, and surfing.
