I'm a PhD student at UC Berkeley, advised by Pieter Abbeel.

I recently graduated from Stanford University with a distinction in research.

During my masters, I was an intern in the Robotics team at Google Brain and an AI resident at Everyday Robots.

Software

I actively contribute to MuJoCo, a popular and widely used physics simulator for robotics and control.

Some representative software I've developed over the years:
