ABOUT ME
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, where I conduct research on robotics with Kris Hauser at the Intelligent Motion Lab, now at UIUC. My research interests span robot perception, motion planning, and learning. My specialties are in the fields of warehouse automation using robots, as well as 3D computer vision such as SLAM, 6D pose estimation, segmentation and classification on RGB-D data.
