I am a Senior Research Engineer at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) on the Perceptual Reasoning and Interaction (PRIOR) team, where I work on embodied AI in unstructured human environments. Prior to that, I earned my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, where I was advised by Santosh Devasia and Joseph Garbini.

We train a supervised model to imitate shortest path trajectories collected from simulation and show that it generalizes to perform effective navigation and manipulation when deployed on real world agents.

From a 10-minute iPhone scan of any environment, we condition procedural scene generation on that scan to generate training environments. Training a robot to perform ObjectNav in these scenes dramatically improves sim-to-real performance from 35% to 71% and results in an agent that is remarkably robust to human movement, lighting variations, added clutter, and rearranged objects.
