I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UIUC. I am advised by Girish Chowdhary. I also work closely with Unnat Jain and Abhinav Gupta to improve embodied AI tasks and apply them to real-world robots.

Previously, I also completed my undergraduate at UIUC where I completed my undergraduate thesis under the advising of Steven LaValle and Alli Nilles.

CV

I am currently at CMU working with Unnat Jain and Abhinav Gupta.
