I am a Robotics PhD student at Georgia Tech in the Robotics Perception and Learning (RIPL) Lab and an AI Resident at 1X Technologies. My research involves imitation learning and reinforcement learning for robots. I plan to graduate with 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. During my PhD, I’ve the pleasure of mentoring three masters students, Justin Wit, Thuan Nguyen, and Robert Azarcon. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, rock climbing, yoga, and surfing.
