I am a first-year CSE PhD student at UC San Diego, advised by Hao Su. I am interested in developing scalable machine learning methods that solve challenging real-world robotic tasks.

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Statistics from the National University of Singapore, where I worked with David Hsu on long-range navigation using a Spot robot. I also interned at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, working with Yunzhu Li and Jiajun Wu on learning world models for robotic manipulation.

News

May 05, 2024 I will present our work RoboPack in three workshops at ICRA 2024: ViTac, 3DVRM, and Future Roadmap for Manipulation Skills. Welcome to drop by our poster sessions.
Apr 14, 2024 I am joining UCSD as a PhD student in 2024 fall!
