Check out Leslie Kaelbling's #RLC2025 Keynote where she talks about some new pespectives and a number of new works from the group: youtube.com/watch?v=10OjAI…
This is my new favorite robot demo video - very impressive! Expert level table tennis seems more within reach than I would have thought!

We're excited for #RLC2025! If you're at the conference, be sure to catch our PI Leslie Kaelbling's keynote on "RL: Rational Learning" from 9-10 in CCIS 1-430. Leslie will talk about some new perspectives + exciting new results from the group: you won't want to miss it! 🤖
I competed on robotics teams (FIRST, WRO) throughout middle and high school and loved it. When I got to college, I asked @StefanieTellex about forming an undergrad robotics competition club. She suggested I try research first. “Research is cooler”, she said. She was right!

Thrilled to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech (@ICatGT / @GTrobotics / @mlatgt) in Fall 2026. My lab will tackle problems in robot learning, multimodal ML, and interaction. I'm recruiting PhD students this next cycle – please apply/reach out!
It was a ton of fun to help @WillShenSaysHi and @CaelanGarrett on new work that does GPU-accelerated TAMP! Exciting progress towards efficient test time scaling for robots 🤖
