Biography
I am a third year Ph.D. student at MIT advised by Prof. Russ Tedrake. My current research focuses on two main directions: 1) understanding and improving how different data sources can be used in robot imitation learning; and 2) algorithmic improvements for generative modeling in robotics with a focus on learning from out-of-distribution or low-quality data. Prior to MIT, I worked on model-based control for contact-rich systems with Prof. Michael Posa.
I am grateful to be funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship (Doctoral).
