I want to build the intelligence of general purpose robots.
I’m currently a member of Max Simchowitz’s lab, focusing on dexterous manipulation.
Previously I worked on reinforcement learning for quadrupeds to climb hills, mentored by Prof. Aaron Johnson at the Robomechanics Lab. I was inspired by the insane agility of mountain goats and hope RL can get us closer to robo-goats.
Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! is my favorite book and a great inspiration for me.
