Research

I am passionate about robotics, generative AI (with a focus on diffusion models), reasoning, and planning. My research is centered on advancing generalization capabilities in robot learning, with an emphasis on scaling through improvements in data, algorithms, and system design. I am always open to collaboration and discussions on exciting research projects. Please feel free to reach out!
