I make robots move and act in the real world, using reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and vision-language-action models to take policies from simulation to real hardware. Currently, I'm an M.S. student at USC working on humanoid control with Prof. Quan Nguyen, and an RL research intern at PlusAI.
