I'm a senior at MIT, double majoring in EECS and physics. My intellectual journey has been driven by my desire to deepen our understanding of the physical world and develop embodied intelligent systems informed by this understanding. My research interests lie in generative models for embodied AI and robotics, aiming to design systems capable of reasoning, acting, and adapting in the real world.

I am currently working as an undergraduate researcher at LIS advised by Prof. Leslie Kaelbling and Prof. Tomas Lozano-Perez. I previously worked as an undergraduate researcher at RRG advised by Prof. Nicholas Roy.

In my free time, I do figure skating and dance. I love watching musicals and going to art exhibitions. And I enjoy exploring food places and posting them on instagram - I am now the go-to person for food recommendations among my friends.
