I'm an undergraduate student studying robotics at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I'm advised by Kenny Shaw and Deepak Pathak, where I work on dexterous manipulation and sim-to-real policy transfer.

Featured work

I'm interested in building robotic systems with behavior cloning, reinforcement learning, and simulation. I've also worked on end-to-end vision-based control for autonomous vehicles. You can find some of my work below, with more projects on GitHub.

LEAP Hand rotating a cube in the real world and in simulation

LEAP Hand V1: In-Hand Reorientation in Isaac Lab


July 2025
GitHub | Tweet

Built the Isaac Lab environment for one-axis cube reorientation, implementing automatic domain randomization (ADR) and randomized episode lengths, deploying the proprioceptive policy to the physical LEAP Hand through ROS 2, and open-sourcing the reorientation task.

Bartimaeus project demo

Bartimaeus: Stealing Vision Back - HACKPRINCETON 2024 FINALIST + HEALTHCARE TRACK WINNER


November 2024
GitHub | Website

Used state-of-the-art pre-trained computer vision models and created a greedy path-planning algorithm to help visually impaired users navigate indoor environments.

DebateZero project demo

DebateZero: The Future of Debate Analysis - HACKCMU 2024 OVERALL WINNER


October 2024
GitHub

Used spectral analysis, landmark detection, mathematical modelling, and eye tracking to gain insights on debates and identify misinformation and bias.

Semantic segmentation project demo

Semantic Segmentation for Autonomous Vehicles


February 2023 - May 2023
GitHub

Used CUDA, OpenCV, PyTorch's C++ API (LibTorch), and TorchScript to run semantic segmentation at the highest FPS possible.

End-to-end lateral control project demo

End2End Learning for Lateral Control


November 2021 - January 2022
Research Proposal | GitHub | Tweet

Used Deep Convolutional Networks to control self-driving steering, read more than 60 papers in the space, and met some really smart people from the wayve.ai + comma.ai team!
