I am a postdoctoral fellow with Matthew Johnson-Roberson at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University

Before CMU, I was PhD candidate at the School of Computer Science, the University of Sydney, Australia, advised by Fabio Ramos and working closely with Lionel Ott (now at ETH Zurich). My doctoral thesis won the School's Outstanding Thesis Award. During my PhD, I spent time conducting robotics research with NVIDIA's Seattle Robotics Lab. 

My research has been recognised with several awards and accolades, including the Best Paper Award at the Learning for Dynamics and Control Conference (L4DC) in 2022, and selection as a Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) Pioneer in 2020.

Before starting my PhD, I received my Bachelor of Engineering (First Class Honours) at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. I spent time at CSIRO doing machine learning research as an undergraduate.
