I'm a second year undergraduate Computer Science student at Columbia University.
I am fascinated by Robotics and Embodied AI – mostly questioning how humans utilize a lifetime of information to zero-shot the most complex tasks.
I'm fortunate to be a member of Columbia AI and Robotics lab, mentored by Huy Ha and advised by Professor Shuran Song. I've dabbled in human-robot interaction and deformable object manipulation, nowadays I'm mostly interested in language.
When I'm not debugging my simulator, I enjoy exploring art museums and coffee shops in NYC, reading hard sci-fi, and playing ultimate frisbee.
