Hello! I'm a first-year master's student in computer science at Stanford University, working as a graduate research assistant at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab with Prof. Fei-Fei Li and Dr. Ruohan Zhang.
My research interests lie in robotics, embodied AI, and large language models. Before Stanford, I studied computer science and applied mathematics at UC Berkeley, and did research at BAIR and the CMU Robotics Institute.
Outside of research, I take photos, play video games, and always have music on.
