I am a graduate student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Washington, Seattle, and a student of Prof. Dieter Fox. My main interest is in machine learning for real-world systems. The focus of my thesis research is Gaussian processes for modelling of dynamical systems.

Here is my resume, and a summary of some of the robotics platforms I have worked on.
