Welcome.

I'm an Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Texas at Austin, where I teach the Robot Learning stream of the Freshman Research Initiative.

I also work as a postdoctoral fellow in the Robot Interactive Intelligence (RobIn) Lab at UT directed by Professor Roberto Martín-Martín.

My research explores the intersection of machine learning and robotic manipulation. In particular, I aim to develop learning algorithms that enable robust, sample-efficient, and generalizable control on real robots. My work draws on reinforcement learning, control theory, and computer vision.

Before UT, I earned my PhD in the Intelligent Robot Lab at Brown University, advised by George Konidaris.
