I graduated from Georgia Tech's BS/MS program in May 2024. I completed the BS portion in two years, from Fall 2021 to Spring 2023, during which I worked with Professor Matthew Gombolay, and I completed the Master's portion in one year, from Fall 2023 to Spring 2024, during which I worked with Professor Dhruv Batra.

I'm currently working with Professor Zsolt Kira.
