I’m currently a master’s student in CS at Brown University working with Prof. George Konidaris and Prof. Randall Balestriero. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s in CS from UCSB. There, I worked on zeroth-order optimization and tensor-compressed learning, advised by Prof. Zheng Zhang.

Right now, I’m interested in model-based reinforcement learning and state abstraction. Currently researching ways to use learned models for decision-time policy improvement.
