Researching world models for interactive environments, scalable reinforcement learning, long-horizon behavior, and transfer to real environments.
I’m a research scientist and full-stack ML engineer based in Los Angeles. My work connects foundational models and neural simulation with systems that operate at real-world scale.
Beyond machine learning, I’m deeply curious about robotics, quantitative systems, and the arts.
