📚 My Research
I am a roboticist and AI researcher with hands-on experience in designing complex simulations for generating synthetic robot data. I excel in simulation tools such as Pybullet, Isaac Lab, and Newton Physics Engine. Using these simulations, I have applied Deep Reinforcement Learning and Imitation Learning with applications in robotic control. I have developed and deployed learning-based control policies on real robotic systems. My research contributions have been recognized in top-tier conferences, including ICRA, CVPR, and AAAI. Furthermore, I have experience with training LLMs and generative models.
