My research interests lie in the intersection of optimization, reinforcement learning, and robotics. I develop algorithms to efficiently train robots, ideally with theoretical guarantee.
I am co-advised by Prof. Anqi Wu and Prof. Ye Zhao at Georgia Tech. Additionally, I had the privilege to collaborate with Prof. George Lan on stochastic optimization and RL.
Projects
Digit running the L2T policy zero-shot in the mission bay of the Navy’s Stiletto, including underway at up to 22 knots.
Granular contact physics and terrain-adaptive reinforcement learning for humanoid locomotion.
One-stage privileged teacher-student learning for sample-efficient Digit locomotion over 12+ terrain and disturbance settings.
Model-enhanced residual learning for stable end-effector control during humanoid loco-manipulation.
RL corrections to adaptive MPC so bipedal locomotion stays accurate on challenging terrain.

Distributional IRL that recovers reward and return distributions for risk-aware imitation.
