I’m a second-year Master’s student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I’m fortunate to be advised by Professor Deepak Pathak. Before this, I worked as a Research Engineer under Professor Abhinav Gupta. My research focuses on developing autonomous systems that meaningfully impact their environment through selective contact. My long-term goal is to enable robots to take on tasks that are unsafe, repetitive, or simply monotonous for humans. Currently, I’m working on visual representations that blend insights from both human and robotic experiences to accelerate robotic skill acquisition.
Beyond research, I enjoy lifting weights 🏋️♂️, mastering dynamic poses 🤸, and catching the latest Formula 1 race 🏎️. I’m always open to collaborating or just geeking out over cool ideas!
