I am an applied scientist at Amazon Robotics, where I work on simulation for training VLA/RL policies. I also worked on developing simulation software for robotic manipulation programs such as Robin, Sparrow, Cardinal, and Blue Jay, sim-to-real and real-to-sim transfer, motion planning.
Before Amazon Robotics, I completed my Ph.D. at MIT and my M.A.Sc. and B.A.Sc. at the University of Toronto. I also spent time as a visiting researcher with the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory. During graduate school, I worked on energy systems problems using optimization and control.
