Background
  • Research Interests: Exploring the fundamental principles that enable robust manipulation and seeking to achieve human-level robustness in robotic systems. Focus on general object manipulation, including deformable objects, through nonprehensile or tool-based interactions. Combines computational co-design, energy-based caging analysis, and reinforcement learning to develop manipulation strategies that are both robust and generalizable.
