I am a researcher at MIT CSAIL, where I work on robotics and machine learning.

I did my bachelors at UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Prof. Pulkit Agrawal as a researcher in BAIR.

My goal is to solve general robotic manipulation.

Predicting contact points with a CVAE and plane segmentation improves object generalization and handles multimodality.

State-of-the-art results on long-horizon manipulation using reinforcement learning.

Synthesizing Lyapunov controllers through contact with alternating optimization.

Vision-based fingertip pose estimation with internal camera and CNN pose estimator.

Perception and trajectory optimization to pick out specified object and throw into a target bin.
