About Me
Welcome to my academic portfolio! I am a third-year PhD student at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Ahmed H. Qureshi at the CoRAL Lab. My research lies at the intersection of robotics, physics-informed learning, and motion planning, with a focus on enabling intelligent agents to navigate and interact with complex environments efficiently and robustly. Broadly, my work develops neural field representations, physics-informed learning frameworks, and simulation platforms for scalable robot intelligence.
Prior to Purdue, I completed my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science at New York University (2019-2023), where I worked with Prof. Chen Feng at the AI4CE Lab on robotics simulation.
When I'm not in the lab, you can find me reading detective novels, playing strategic video games, or spending time with my cats who are always supporting my research!
