Building helpful robots

Hello there! I am a roboticist working on Embodied Intelligence at Stanford, pursuing a PhD with the CS department. My broad research interests are in the intersection of robotics and machine learning, covering learning-based manipulation, data curation and interpretability, co-design for hardware and systems, and cross-embodiment learning.

Previously, I finished my master’s degree in robotics, systems & control at ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab with Prof. Katzschmann and Elvis Nava. Throughout my time at ETH, I spent 3 years working on aerial manipulation and 2 years working on dexterous manipulation with human-like dexterous hands. I also interned at mimic robotics and BMW.
