My research interests lie at the intersection of Physical AI, robot navigation, and bio-inspired robotics, with a particular focus on enabling autonomous mobility for robots with diverse morphologies.

My goal is to develop intelligent robotic systems that can perceive, reason, and act autonomously in complex real-world environments. I am particularly interested in integrating robot embodiment, perception, and learning to enable robust autonomous behavior across different robotic embodiments.
