I recently graduated as a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC).
I previously also received my Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from USC.
My research focuses on robot learning and reinforcement learning.
I am currently working under Professors Erdem Bıyık (LiraLab), Stephen Tu, and Jesse Thomason along with, Anthony Liang and Jesse Zhang.
