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 (e.g., household manipulation, mobile robots). My long-term goal is to develop robots that can autonomously plan, adapt, and act across extended temporal and spatial horizons, often leveraging foundation models in vision, language, and/or action.

My core research areas include:

Outside research I enjoy playing soccer ⚽️, bouldering 🧗, brewing coffee ☕️, and cooking 🍽️.
