About Me
I am a robotics master's student at the University of Pennsylvania, working at the intersection of robotics, AI, and high-performance computing. My work focuses on developing efficient, scalable algorithms for motion planning, control, and learning, with an emphasis on real-world robotic systems. I aim to advance robotic autonomy through algorithm design and systems-level optimization.
