Research 🔬

I am driven by a vision to develop advanced agents that can efficiently perform complex real-world tasks. In pursuit of this, my current research focuses on:

Reasoning: 🧠 Exploring methods to enable machines to perform logical and commonsense reasoning, allowing them to make informed decisions in dynamic environments.
Multimodal Learning: 👁️ Integrating information from multiple modalities such as vision, language, and audio to create models that understand the physical world.
Embodied Agents: 🤖 Developing agents that can interact with and learn from their environments through physical embodiment, enhancing their ability to perform tasks in real-world settings.
