I'm a third year Computer Science student at Columbia University, and an aspiring AI researcher.

I am fascinated by Embodied AI. I not only believe that intelligent physical automation can help humanity tackle epic challenges, but I find joy studying the field; it poses difficult problems to ponder, philosophical questions to answer, countless design decisions to make, and creative solutions to dream of.

Nowadays I’m interested in video diffusion priors for robotics.
