I am a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. I work with Professor Nima Fazeli as a member of Mmintlab. My research is centered on contact-rich manipulations and representation learning, leveraging multi-modal observations (Vision, Touch, and Language). Previously, I was at FAIR Robotics, NVIDIA Robotics, and Amazon Robotics AI.
