I'm a PhD student at Loyola University Chicago, where I work on robot learning. I am affiliated with AISEC and the Software Systems Laboratory. My work is supervised by Mohammed Abuhamad and George Thiruvathukal.
Research Interests: I am interested in self supervised methods for imitation learning, continual improvement, and learning from human behavior. While it is common to use these techniques to improve generalization in unseen environments, I intend to improve the capability of robots to become increasingly capable in familiar environments.
I am interested in collaborating with other motivated students. Please reach out if you would like to work together.

TLDR: We create a novel dataset of skinned 3d models to study differences in human and machine perception.
