About me.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Northwestern University Center for Robotics and Biosystems. I am a researcher in the Interactive and Emergent Autonomy Lab, advised by Dr. Todd Murphey.

My research improves the generalization capabilities of generative models by combining Bayesian inference and deep learning to explicitly model uncertainty and guide autonomous agents in collecting maximally informative data. I integrate perception, machine learning, and actions in a closed loop system for online, active learning. Applications of my research include active sensing & exploration, robust data collection, and perceptual learning.
