I’m currently a Master's student in Computer Science at Stanford University, where I’m honored to work with Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. Fei-Fei Li at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. I received my B.A. in Computer Science and Visual Arts from Columbia University, where I worked with Prof. Hod Lipson.
I am excited to explore the potential of combining robot learning, human-robot interaction, and visual arts. Through art, I translate scientific outputs into philosophical discussions, asking “how?” and “why?" Through science, I try to find new possibilities for creating artwork and re-interpreting the world.
