Hi! I'm a PhD student at UCSD, working with Prof. Xiaolong Wang. My research interests lie in Robot Learning and Reinforcement Learning. I'm interested in applying learning methods for general robot policies that can be deployed in the real world.
I got my MSCS degree from USC, where I worked with Prof. Erdem Bıyık and Prof. Gaurav Sukhatme. Prior to USC, I received my BEng degree in Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
