I am a DPhil student in the Applied AI Lab (A2I Lab) at the University of Oxford advised by Professor Ingmar Posner.

I was a visiting student at the University of Southern California, advised by Professor Joseph J. Lim. I did my master at University College London, supervised by Professor John Shawe-Taylor and Dr. Zafeirios Fountas. I got my bachelor degree at Keio University, advised by Professor Akito Sakurai.

I am boradly interested in rapid skill acquisition for complex manipulation tasks, with a particular focus on leveraging generative models. So far, I have been working on (1) combining motion planning and a learning-based policy for manipulation tasks in complex environments, (2) learning-based motion planning/trajectory optimisation, and (3) world modelling for efficient skill acquisition. I have also started working on bimanual manipulation because bimanual coordination is often necessary to achieve complex manipulation tasks such as assembly.
