Hello! I am a PhD student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I work with Professors Maxim Likhachev and Jiaoyang Li and am supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I broadly work on search-based motion planning for single and multi-agent systems. My specific research interest is in (1) designing better heuristic search algorithms, (2) multi-agent motion planning and coordination (e.g. MAPF), and (3) combining search with machine learning.

Previously, I double majored in EECS and Applied Math at UC Berkeley. I also conducted research with Professor Sergey Levine in Berkeley AI Research and was very active in teaching (EE16A, CS188, CS170 x2).

I am looking for research collaborations; feel free to email me!
