Research Experience
- Current research projects include: DexFruit (dexterous manipulation and Gaussian splatting inspection of fruit), TensorTouch (calibration of tactile sensors for high resolution stress tensor and deformation for dexterous manipulation), Splat-Nav (safe real-time robot navigation in Gaussian splatting maps), SAFER-Splat (safety with control barrier functions in online Gaussian splatting maps), Next Best Sense (guiding vision and touch with FisherRF for 3D Gaussian splatting), etc.
Education
- Started his PhD at Stanford University in September 2023, focusing on tactile sensing for robotics.
Background
- PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, co-advised by Prof. Monroe Kennedy and Prof. Mac Schwager. He is a member of the ARM Lab and the Multi-Robot Systems Lab. His research interests include leveraging tactile sensing for dexterous manipulation and making vision language action (VLA) models more generalizable.
Miscellany
- Personal interests include photography.
