About
ππ» Hi! Iβm an undergraduate student and researcher at the University of Washington. I double major in Computer Science (with Honors) and Statistics, with a minor in Mathematics. I also work with the PRIOR team at the Allen Institute for AI.
During undergrad, I am fortunate to be co-advised by Professor Ranjay Krishna at the RAIVN Lab and Professor Dieter Fox at the Robotics and State Estimation Lab in UW Allen School, and advised by Professor Jenq-Neng Hwang at the Information Processing Lab in UW ECE. I am also pleased to collaborate with Dr Jiafei Duan and Dr Ying Jin.
My research interests are broadly in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and embodied AI. I am especially passionate about robot learning, imitation learning, behavior cloning, and foundation models for robotics.
