About
I am an assistant professor in the Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science and, by courtesy, in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California. I lead the Learning and Interactive Robot Autonomy Lab (Lira Lab). Broadly, I am interested in artificial intelligence for robotics. In my research, I use tools from machine learning, artificial intelligence, optimization, game theory, robotics, information theory, and cognitive science. Specifically, I work on robot learning from humans, human-robot collaboration, and learning in multi-agent systems.
