About

Hey, I'm a Research Scientist in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science at the University of Washington. I recently completed my undergrad in Computer Science at UW. I currently work on robot learning at the WEIRD Lab under Abhishek Gupta.

My current research focus is centered around leveraging simulation to enable real-world robotics with minimal human data collection. In particular, below are some keywords of my recent interests:

• Sim2Real
• RL Fine-tuning
• Automatic Scene Articulation
• Generalization
• Learning from Video

Previously, I interned at Harvey Mudd's MIR Lab, where I worked on music information retrieval with projects like audio tampering detection and zero-shot composer classification. I also previously interned at Arrcus and Presso as a software engineering intern.
