Hello! I received my PhD from Arizona State University (ASU), where I worked on interesting and challaging problems in the field of human-robot interaction, robot learning and computer vision. At ASU, I was advised by Prof. Heni Ben Amor and part of Interactive Robotics Laboratory (IRL).

My current research interests include robot learning, multimodal learning for robot grasping and manipulation, teleoperation, and computer vision.
