Hi! I'm a Master's student at Johns Hopkins University, working on robotics and perception.

My research focuses on active perception and robot learning, with an emphasis on decision-making under partial observability. I study how robots can acquire task-relevant information and use it to guide perception, planning, and action.

I am currently working on projects involving vision-language-action (VLA) models, exploring how active perception can improve robotic manipulation.
