I am a PhD student at the University of Utah, advised by Professor Kenneth Marino, working on embodied lifelong learning. What excites me most right now is making robots truly agentic: language-conditioned systems that reason about a task, plan over long horizons, act, and communicate and not just execute policies. Language agents have developed a powerful continual learning harness, the ability to tool use, iterative planning, reflection, and understand feedbacks. My research aims to bring that same harness to embodied agents, so that robots inherit the reasoning and adaptability we now take for granted on the web.

Before Utah, I conducted AI and assistive robotics research at the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the INSITE Lab at Colby College. I’m always open to collaborations and research opportunities in robot learning.
