Building helpful robots

prof_pic.jpg

Hello there! I am a roboticist working towards more intelligent and helpful machines. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD with the CS department at Stanford, advised by Prof. Marco Pavone. My broad goal is to build systematic connections between data, models and runtime performance to obtain actionable insights for data collection, policy learning and deployment.

Previously, I finished my master’s degree in robotics, systems & control at ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab with Prof. Robert Katzschmann and Elvis Nava. Throughout my time at ETH, I’ve worked on aerial manipulation and dexterous manipulation.
