About
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell University, working with Professor Jennifer Sun. My research focuses on building efficient agent systems that enable open-ended scientific discovery.
Previously, I worked with Professor Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee in the EmPRISE Lab at Cornell on robot-assisted caregiving and human-robot interaction. Before Cornell, I completed my M.S. in Computer Science at Stanford University where I worked with Professors Jiajun Wu and Yunzhu Li on robot learning, and my B.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics at the University of Southern California.
I am a Siebel Scholar (Class of 2023).
