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.

News

Sep 2024: One paper accepted to NeurIPS 2024.
June 2024: Doing summer intern at Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL).
April 2024: Will join Northwestern University as a Ph.D. student working with Prof. Manling Li.
