Ph.D. Student · Computer Science · UC Irvine
I am a Ph.D. student at UC Irvine, advised by Judy Hoffman. I began my Ph.D. at Georgia Tech and previously studied at UC San Diego and Zhejiang University.
My research focuses on robust and generalizable embodied intelligence, spanning world models, 3D perception, and robot learning. I am interested in how models acquire physical understanding from visual experience, and how we improve their ability to reason and act in unfamiliar environments.
* Equal contribution.

Transferring visual and physical priors from video models into robot policies, with strong generalization and up to 20× fewer training examples than the baseline.
In submission
Diagnosing failures that standard video metrics miss: five world models, two robot datasets, and links to downstream policy performance.
