PhD student · Computer & Information Science
I am a PhD student at Penn, advised by Prof. Antonio Loquercio and Prof. Rahul Mangharam. I also work closely with Prof. Haimin Hu.
My research focuses on robot learning and human–robot interaction (HRI). My work includes scalable learning for robotic manipulation and AI coaching through reinforcement learning and game theory. I am also exploring multi-agent systems, vision-language-action models, and safe control, drawing on information theory, Bayesian inference, and probabilistic learning.
