I’m currently a master’s student in CS at Brown University working with Prof. George Konidaris and Prof. Randall Balestriero. My research interests lie in abstraction and model-based reinforcement learning. I graduated from UCSB in 2024, where I studied CS and was advised by Prof. Zheng Zhang. In a past life, I worked on zeroth-order optimization and tensor-compressed learning.
