About Me

I am an undergraduate researcher at the National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. David Hsu. I will be joining Rice University as a graduate student to work with Prof. Lydia Kavraki and Prof. Kaiyu Hang. Previously, I worked at the Advanced Robotics Centre, under the supervision of Prof. Marcelo H. Ang Jr.

Research Interest

My recent interests lie in integrating planning and learning - specifically, how to utilize learning to aid model-based planners in various ways. I am interested in applications to robotics domains, especially those that involve 1) reasoning under uncertainty, 2) highly non-linear dynamics, and 3) stringent time constraints amidst a dynamic environemnt.
