About

Hey everyone!
I am a 2nd year master’s student in the Existential Robotics Lab at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Nikolay Atanasov.
Previously, I earned a B.S. in Computer Science (minor in Statistics) from Arizona State University,
where I worked with Prof. Suren Jayasuriya and Prof. Kookjin Lee.

My research focuses on learning-based robotic systems capable of performing long-horizon tasks that span multiple stages and environments. My long-term goal is to build robots that can perceive their surroundings, plan multi-step actions, and adapt on the fly to bridge the gap between high-level reasoning and low-level control.

My core research areas include:

Outside research I enjoy playing soccer ⚽️, tennis 🎾, brewing coffee ☕️, and cooking 🍽️.
