About Me
I’m interested in robotics and autonomous systems, with a focus on real-world learning challenges like sample inefficiency, unstable environments, and sparse rewards. I have experience working with ROS, microcontrollers, PCB design, and I am currently part of the MURO Lab under Professor Jorge Cortés at UC San Diego, where I contribute to the TurtleBots team on multi-robot mapping and navigation. Looking ahead, I hope to become a robotics engineer working on embedded autonomy, real-time learning, and intelligent control systems for physical robots.
