I am a M.S. student at Minnesota Robotics Institute advised by Professor Karthik Desingh as part of his Robotics: Perception, and Manipulation Lab. My research interests lie in object manipulation for domestic robots. I am particularly interested in developing algorithms that enable robots to learn the relationship between multiple objects in cluttered environments from human demonstrations.

I spent the summer of 2022 working on the Amazon-University of Washington Robot Manipulation Project. Before that, I completed my B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics at University of Washington. During my B.S., I worked as a research assistant at UW Robotics and State Estimation Lab on the project Evaluating SORNet on a Geometric and Spatial (GeoSpa) Reasoning Dataset.
