I am a Research Scientist at ASAPP working on task-oriented dialog and natural language processing for conversational AI systems. I did my Ph.D. in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University where my research was generously supported by Meta AI and CMU Presidential Fellowship.
My research aims to build efficient machine learning and optimization techniques for sequential decision making. I am interested in tasks that involve seamless interactions between human and AI partners.
I am excited about product-driven research and have previously worked across applications like tactile manipulation, underwater exploration, and computational agriculture.
