I am a Ph.D. candidate in robotics at USC, affiliated with the Realization of Robotics Systems Lab (RRoS) advised by Dr. Satyandra K. Gupta. My research is centered around integrating physics-informed learning methods into robotics, focusing on enhancing robots’ capability to manipulate objects with complex physics. I’m developing practical and scalable approaches to create explainable models that exploit physics-aware inductive biases for robots to perform complex tasks.
Before starting my Ph.D., I have led multiple industry-funded projects at USC as a Master’s student. In the past, I worked for Rolls-Royce, Singapore, as a robotics engineer for two years.
