I am a senior research scientist and a project leader at Honda Research Institute EU. I am also a visiting researcher at Imperial College London. I was an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow funded by Schmidt Futures. I received my Ph.D. degree from Imperial College London (advised by Prof. Yiannis Demiris).

My research interests cover many aspects of machine learning algorithms applied to general robot manipulation. My research has been accepted at Science Robotics and T-RO. I have been awarded The UK Best PhD in Robotics Award 2020 1st place held by Queen Mary, and Best Research Paper (Early Career Researcher), 2025 AI & Robotics Research Awards held by TAS Hub, Responsible Ai UK and the Royal Society.
