I am a master's student at Rice University advised by Prof. Lydia Kavraki. My research centers on long-horizon task and motion planning. I am inspired by scenarios like βmaking a cup of tea in every room,β where the robot operates under partial observability, faces uncertainty in transitions, and no domain-specific model, combined with non-trivial motion planning challenges. The robot must efficiently generate task plans grounded in motion, recover from failures, and autonomously explore within its known environment. I am thrilled to explore the valuable potential that lies at the intersection of learning-based and model-based approaches. I am also honored to collaborate with Prof. Zak Kingston and Prof. Kaiyu Hang.
I obtained my B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Lehigh University under the supervision of Prof. Rosa Zheng. There, I worked on perception and control, led an autonomous racing team, and co-founded the Lehigh Underwater Robotics team. Those works earned me the Donald J. Hillman Memorial Award, which is awarded to the most outstanding senior in AI at Lehigh University.
I enjoy rock climbing, road trips, listening to K-pop.I am applying for PhD programs in Robotics for the 2025 academic year.
I submitted one paper to ICRA 2025 and another to RA-L, both as the first author.
I led a team of four members to win 2nd place at the F1TENTH Competition Head-to-Head Race at ICRA 2022.
