I am a first-year Computer Science Ph.D. student in Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR), advised by Prof. Ken Goldberg. My research is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP). Previously, I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University, where I worked with Prof. Yunzhu Li and Prof. Matei Ciocarlie. I also spent time as a research intern at SceniX.

My research focuses on agentic robotics, simulation, and robot manipulation.
