Background
- An independent researcher focused on advancing video generation and its applications in visual reasoning and planning. Current work explores integrating generative video models with reinforcement learning to enable intelligent agents that can perceive, reason, and act within complex visual environments. Also experienced in 3D motion synthesis and control, with a deep background in physics-based character animation and deep reinforcement learning.
Miscellany
- Long-term goal is to bridge generative AI with decision-making systems to create grounded, interpretable, and task-driven agents.
