Welcome! I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Intelligent Dynamics Lab at the University of California, Irvine, mentored by Prof. Roy Fox. My research bridges the exciting worlds of Reinforcement Learning and Computer Vision, focusing on building intelligent systems that can learn and perform visual control tasks.
In the fall of 2019, I had the incredible opportunity to intern with the Mobile Vision team at Facebook Reality Labs, collaborating with Peter Vajda on cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible in AR/VR.
I’m driven by a passion for innovation and a belief in the transformative potential of AI to solve complex, real-world problems. Let’s explore this journey together!
