Greetings!

I received my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California San Diego. I continue to collaborate on research with Prof. Biwei Huang and currently work as a Research Scientist at Aether AI.

My research focuses on machine learning for intelligent systems, with particular interests in embodied AI, world models, and data-driven decision making. I study how learning-based systems can understand complex environments, model their dynamics, and use these representations to make reliable decisions and take effective actions.
