Affiliations/Education
I am a Robotic System Engineer at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) with the Embodied AI team. I build efficient large-scale artificial agents that learn from structured visual world representations to solve multi-task, non-trivial manipulation problems. I am mentored by Vikash Kumar, Franziska Meier, and Chris Paxton and collaborate closely with Homanga Bharadhwaj and Sergio Arnaud.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a Computer Science and Math minor from the University of Washington.
I am interested in areas of Robotics, Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI), and solving autonomous world navigation. Besides robotics and research, I am interested in climbing/bouldering, photography, football(soccer), and cars.
