I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at University of Southern California where I'm working with Prof. Daniel Seita. I’m double majoring in Computer Science (CS) and Applied and Computational Mathematics (AMCM). I'm fortunate to continue as a PhD student here at USC!

I'm broadly interested in robot learning and manipulation. Currently, my focus is on dexterous grasping & manipulation.

This paper presents the Singulating Objects in Packed Environments (SOPE) framework, which utilizes a novel displacement-based state representation and a multi-phase RL approach to enable effective singulation of target objects in cluttered environments using a 16-DOF Allegro Hand. The proposed method demonstrates high success rates in both simulation and real-world experiments, outperforming alternative techniques.
