I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science, specializing in robotic perception and manipulation. I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Shuran Song and to be a member of the Robotics & Embodied Artificial Intelligence Lab (REAL) @ Stanford.

In my non-existent freetime, I take photos, train dogs, and care for my 20 plants. I'm a proud dog dad of two beautiful boys, Mo and Oliver. They are my whole world.
