About Me

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at Rice University advised by Prof. Lydia Kavraki. My research focuses on task and motion planning, contact-rich manipulation, and multi-robot motion planning. I am also honored to collaborate with Prof. Zak Kingston and Prof. Kaiyu Hang.

I earned a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Lehigh University under the supervision of Prof. Rosa Zheng . During my time there, I worked on perception and control, led an autonomous racing team, and co-founded the Lehigh Underwater Robotics team. These efforts earned me the Donald J. Hillman Memorial Award, which recognizes Lehigh's most outstanding senior in AI.

I enjoy rock climbing, road trips, and K‑pop .
