I am a PhD student in Computer Science at MIT CSAIL, advised by Vincent Sitzmann and Josh Tenenbaum . My research is supported by the MIT Presidential Fellowship.
Research Objectives. I build the brains and bodies of robots. My work draws on ideas from machine learning, physics, and cognitive AI, with applications in robotics, computer vision, and computer graphics.
Prospective students. Thank you for your interest! I strongly encourage students from underrepresented groups to reach out. If you’re interested in working with me, please feel free to email me your CV. I’d also love to hear about a project or experience that has been especially meaningful to you.
