I am a computer science PhD student advised by Professor George Konidaris in the Intelligent Robot Lab at Brown University.

My research lies at the intersection of language, perception, and robotics. I aim to equip robots with general-purpose intelligence to understand instructions, build predictive models, and reuse prior computation to solve multiple tasks in unstructured environments.
