I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at Columbia University, co-advised by Professor Matei Ciocarlie and Professor Shuran Song. I received a Bachelor's degree from Edinburgh. I also work closely with Dinesh Jayaraman and Nikolai Matni at University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Columbia, I also spent some time at MIT, with Leslie Pack Kaelbling and Tomás Lozano-Pérez (2018); Columbia with Peter Allen (2018-2019). My research attempts to bring robot learning beyond ideal/simulated environments and bring impact on people's life under real-life constraints.

I am always interested in mentoring highly-motivated undergrads/masters. If you are at Columbia (preferred) and want to discuss project ideas/research opportunities, please feel free to shoot me an email. I currently have the luck to work with: Han Lin, Yinsen Jia, Wenxi Chen.

Highlights
