I am a Senior Staff Research Scientist and Tech Lead Manager in the robotics team of Google DeepMind. My research focuses on applying foundation models and deep reinforcement learning methods to robots, with interests spanning locomotion, navigation, manipulation, simulation, and sim-to-real transfer. I got my PhD at the Computer Graphics Laboratory in Georgia Tech, advised by Greg Turk and Karen Liu.
I am an adjunct associate professor at Georgia Institute of Technology. In my spare time, I also teach AI and robotics classes at Stanford University.
