I am a Robotics Engineer at Coupang, where I spearheaded a robotic bin-picking system from
R&D to full-scale production. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Rutgers University and a
Master's from Brown University. At Rutgers, I was advised by Prof. Jingjin Yu, and at Brown, by Prof. Stefanie Tellex. During my doctoral studies, I also
collaborated with Prof. Abdeslam Boularias and interned at
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) with Dr. Siddarth Jain.
I'm interested in robot manipulation, task planning, and perception.
My research interests lie at the intersection of robot manipulation, task planning, and perception.
I am particularly focused on leveraging Reinforcement Learning (RL) and real-time, closed-loop
control to solve complex problems. My goal is to equip robots with the intelligence to handle
long-horizon tasks in dynamic industrial and domestic settings. My approach combines classical
planning algorithms
with modern deep learning and RL strategies, all of which are rigorously validated on both real and
simulated robotic platforms to ensure robustness.
