Welcome! I’m an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Brown University. I work with Prof. Srinath Sridhar at Interactive 3D Vision & Learning Lab.

I completed my Master’s degree at Northeastern University, where I conducted research on topics related to robot perception and navigation with the guidance of Prof. Huaizu Jiang and Prof. Taskin Padir.

During the period of 2022 to 2023, I had the opportunity to intern as a researcher at Honda Research Institute (HRI). Throughout my internships at HRI, my research primarily focused on visuotactile manipulation perception. I had the privilege of being supervised by Dr. Nawid Jamali and Dr. Soshi Iba.

My research interests revolve around the convergence of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics, particularly in the field of robot perception. Perception plays a crucial role in various robotics domains, and I am currently focused on developing accurate and efficient models for environment and object interaction.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Economics (dual major) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
