I am a Computer Science PhD student at Johns Hopkins
University, advised by Haimin Hu, and a
member of the JHU Alliance
AI Lab. I earned my Master's in Electrical and
Computer Engineering and Bachelor's in Computer
Engineering from UCLA, where I was fortunate to be
advised by Anushri
Dixit.
My goal is to develop robots that can safely and
reliably collaborate with humans in shared, uncertain
environments — if this resonates with you, feel free to
