Hi! I’m a second-year M.S. student in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr.Sehoon Ha. I also received my bachelor’s degree in CS at Georgia Tech.

I work at the crossroads of computer graphics and machine learning, studying how reinforcement learning can produce expressive and physically plausible motion behaviors in simulated characters.

My current research focuses on bridging the gap between human and robotic motion through cross-embodiment generalization and on teaching agents to acquire whole-body dynamic manipulation skills from human demonstrations.
