Curriculum Vitae

Departmental GPA 3.95/4.0.

InfiniViTac, co-first author: built a dual-GelSight real-world evaluation rig and collected open-world tactile data across 60 objects and 10 scenes; built the rigid-body simulation baseline that isolates the effect of simulation fidelity.

FetchBench: built a collision-data generation pipeline spanning 6,000 procedurally generated environments, then finetuned and evaluated state-of-the-art collision-detection models across those environments.

Systematic analysis of reasoning training in vision–language models: how distillation teachers, data mixtures and base models shape the reasoning behaviour that is learned. Led evaluation and behavioural analysis, built a quantitative taxonomy for comparing reasoning behaviour across models, and found a bug in a widely used open-source evaluation framework.

When increasing batch size stops buying proportional speedup, combining stochastic modelling of SGD with empirical scaling experiments.

Cryo-EM as a high-dimensional statistical inverse problem, focusing on latent-variable inference and spectral methods for molecular heterogeneity.
