I’m a PhD student in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. I am co-advised by Ani Hsieh and Vijay Kumar.

My research interests lie in data-driven predictive environment modeling for downstream tasks such as planning and active sensing. I am particularly interested in developing environment representations and planning methods for robots operating in unknown or dynamic environments, where online decision making is necessary.

Prior to joining Penn, I obtained my BSc and MSc at the University of California, Irvine in Mechanical Engineering, where I conducted research at the Clean Energy Institute (formally known as the Advanced Power and Energy Program).
