I am a CS Researcher at University of Southern California, working under the supervision of professor Erdem Bıyık and professor Heather Culbertson. I’m interested in trustworthy AI, embodied intelligence, and human-robot interaction. My research focuses on developing efficient and interpretable models that enable robots to adapt to dynamic environments and collaborate more effectively with humans.
