I am a final year PhD student at MIT EECS , advised by Prof. Leslie Kaelbling , Prof. Tomas Lozano-Perez and Prof. Joshua B. Tenenbaum . Previously, I obtained my bachelor's degree from MIT, was a research fellow at OpenAI, an intern and visiting researcher at FAIR and Google Deepmind, and got a gold medal at the International Biology Olympiad. My research focuses on generative models, decision making, robot learning, and embodied agents.
My research is driven by the goal of developing autonomous embodied agents which can intelligently interact and learn in the physical world. My research has mainly focused on implicit learning through energy-based models . My work has focused on how such an implicit learning learning procedure enables compositional generative models which can both compositionally generate novel outputs and compositionally understand the world. My work has further focused on how such compositional models may be applied to tr
