About Me
I am a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science, where I am advised by Dr. Katerina Fragkiadaki within the Robotics, Embodied AI and Learning (REAL) Center.
My interests are: Multimodal AI / Embodied AI / Robot Learning
Before beginning my Ph.D., I worked as a research associate at the AICV Lab under Dr. Ngan Le at the University of Arkansas and served as a visiting scholar with the MLSP Group led by Dr. Bhiksha Raj at Carnegie Mellon. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science (2023) from the University of Arkansas, where Dr. Ngan Le also supervised my research. Prior to that, I graduated Summa Cum Laude (top 1-5%) with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (2020), also from the University of Arkansas.
