About

Research Engineer at Flexion Robotics. Interested in computer vision, generative models, motion generation and control, and robot learning — in particular, how generative models can provide strong motion priors and reinforcement learning can make the resulting controllers robust. Previously completed my MSc in Computer Science at ETH Zürich, where I did my master's thesis in the Computer Vision and Learning Group (VLG), led by Prof. Siyu Tang, and my undergraduate studies at National Taiwan University.
