I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I am a part of the Algorithmic Robotics Group. For more details, please visit the group’s website.

I am a researcher passionate about developing intelligent robots with the ability to plan efficiently, learn from past experiences, and reason about their decisions and interactions with other agents. In particular, I design algorithms for task and motion planning, as well as multi-robot systems, aiming for solutions that are both theoretically sound and practically valuable.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas at Austin, hosted by Prof. Peter Stone, and at MIT CSAIL, hosted by Prof. Tomás Lozano-Pérez and Prof. Leslie Pack Kaelbling. I received my Ph.D. degree from Virginia Tech under Prof. Pratap Tokekar in 2019.

My favorite quote from David Blackwell:
"Basically, I'm not interested in doing research and I never have been... I'm interested in understanding, which is quite a different thing. And often to understand something you have to work it out yourself because no one else has done it."
