Horseshoe Bend, AZ

I am a senior-year undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon.

My current research interests lie at the intersection of robot learning and computer vision

During my time at NYU, I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Chen Feng in the research of non-prehensile mobile manipulation and object rearrangement at AI4CE Lab.

Projects

Quadrupedal Locomotion for Velocity Tracking

Learned quadrupedal locomotion policy with gait shaped by Raibert Heuristics with PPO in IsaacLab for Unitree Go2 that tracks velocity commands under joint disturbances produced by a custom actuator friction model

ROB-GY 6323 Reinforcement Learning and Optimal Control for Autonomous Systems I, 2025
Omnidirectional Quadrupedal Landing Control

Learned aerial reorientation policy with PPO in MuJoCo Playground that lands Unitree Go1 from any orientation by redistributing rotational inertia under conserved angular momentum

ROB-GY 7863 Planning, Learning, and Control for Space Robotics, 2025
