Hello! I'm a 5th-Year Ph.D. student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Prof. David Held. I work on 3D geometric reasoning for robotic manipulation. My research is supported in part by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Here's my cv, my Google Scholar profile, and my Github profile.
