I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Prof. Unnat Jain. I was a research intern at the Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR), Tsinghua University. I recently graduated from the Engineering Science program at the University of Toronto, where I majored in Robotics Engineering and minored in Machine Intelligence.
