Tech Lead – Senior Research Scientist
I work at Special Projects Group (SPG) with a focus on AI/ML and robotics problems.
Robotics Foundation Models, Imitation Learning, RL, Multimodal Diffusion Models, Large-scale Evaluation systems
Postdoctoral Researcher
I work closely with Dr. Behzad Dariush (Chief Scientist & Director) on the applications of reinforcement learning in prediction and behavior planning for urban autonomous driving.
PhD Researcher
I was hosted at Stanford Intelligent and Interactive Autonomous Systems Group (ILIAD) and honored to be working with Dr. Dorsa Sadigh and Dr. Ramtin Pedarsani (UCSB). Outcomes of our work on the interaction between cooperative autonomous vehicles and humans are presented in our IROS 2021 and CVPR 2021 papers.
