Biography
Hi! I am a PhD student advised by Prof. Gaurav Sukhatme at the University of Southern California (USC). I also work closely with Prof. Daniel Seita. My research interest lies in the fields of imitation learning and reinforcement learning for robotic manipulation. Currently, my research focuses on vision-based bimanual manipulation. Prior to joining USC, I completed my master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
