I am a Principal Research Scientist and Director in the robotics team of Google DeepMind, and an adjunct professor at Stanford University. My research focuses on building Robot Foundation Models and applying deep reinforcement learning methods to robots, with interests spanning locomotion, navigation, manipulation, simulation, and sim-to-real transfer. I got my PhD at the Computer Graphics Laboratory in Georgia Tech, advised by Greg Turk and Karen Liu.
