I am an M.S. student in Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego, advised by Xiaolong Wang.
I build real-world learning systems for contact-rich dexterous manipulation. My work captures fine-grained human hand-object interaction, uses human demonstrations as motion and exploration priors for reinforcement learning, and learns precise contact from teleoperated robot data.
Robotics depends on understanding and controlling contact. My long-term goal is to build a general model for contact-aware, low-level robot control.
Research Experience
Across these roles, my focus progressed from representing human motion, to simulating physical interaction, to learning control policies that transfer to real robots.

Beyond Research
I am an enthusiastic speedcuber. My official personal bests include 9.47 seconds in 3×3 at Los Angeles 2024 and 2.36 seconds in Pyraminx at Sacramento 2024. Results are available on my WCA profile.
I also write speedcubing tutorials and personal essays about places, communities, and stories that stay with me.
