About me
I am a Ph.D. student working on robotics and machine learning. My research interests include leveraging robot manipulation by imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and streamlining robotic systems to fulfill real-world applications. Currently, I am working on applying geometric deep learning to SE(3) robotic policy learning.
