I am studying Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley. Currently, I'm researching at the Berkeley AUTOLAB and the Berkeley AI Research Lab advised by Prof. Ken Goldberg.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, automation, and robotics.
