About
I’m a second-year PhD student at the CLAW Lab at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Prof. Yonatan Bisk. I have also had the opportunity to closely work with Prof. Matthew Johnson-Roberson and Prof. Chris Atkeson.
I research robot manipulation and novel hardware to reduce the embodiment gap and sim-to-real gaps in dexterous manipulation. Previously, I worked on LLM spatial reasoning.
