I am a Software Engineer in the Robotics team at Google DeepMind NYC working at the intersection of machine learning and robotics. I received my Ph.D. from Columbia in 2018, where I was advised by Peter Allen. My research interests within robotics include high DoF planning and control problems, 3D Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Foundation models, and Safety. I also enjoy working through the engineering challenges posed by the multi-discplinary nature and system complexity inherit to robotics.
