I am a first-year CS PhD student at NYU Courant advised by Prof. Lerrel Pinto. My research is supported by the NDSEG Fellowship. Iām interested in robust and generalizable robot learning.
Previously, I graduated from UChicago with a 4-year joint BS/MS in Applied Math and Computer Science. There, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Matthew Walter at TTIC and Prof. Ishanu Chattopadhyay at UChicago Medicine. I worked as a software engineer at MathWorks for one year before starting my PhD.
My favorite hobby is building custom LEGO creations. I have a YouTube channel, and my creations have been displayed in the LEGO House and LEGOLAND Billund! I also enjoy playing basketball, running, playing guitar, and reading.
