I'm a multimodal AI and robotics researcher. I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with an M.S. in Computer Science, specializing in Robotics and Machine Learning. Before that, I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. I also spent over four years as a research assistant at Fraunhofer IOSB. I've been fortunate to receive a Fulbright Scholarship during my studies.
I'm interested in robotics and machine learning. I am eager to bring general intelligence to robots. My recent work has primarily focused on different areas of machine learning, but also robotics.
An extension of an existing benchmark for evaluating Vision Language Action Models in simulation that is more comprehensive, faster, and easier to extend.
An LLM-based natural language control interface for Pollen Robotics' Reachy robot, allowing users to control the robot through voice. A user study compares it against VR teleoperation.
A model that generates music aligned to a given video by fusing optical-flow motion cues with CLIP-based visual embeddings to condition an autoregressive music decoder.
A holistic view of reactive shield synthesis that unifies existing literature and provides a complete formal proof for the construction of winning regions in safety g.
A demonstration that current LLMs (late 2024) are still susceptible to persuasion-based jailbreaking, along with an investigation into defense strategies.
Proposes two scheduling policies for Cyber-Physical Systems in dynamic environments that maximize processor utilization while maintaining a safety margin.
A proof of concept for decentralized identities in the context of car rental, consisting of microservice-based applications that issue and verify digital driver licenses.
An in-depth analysis of decentralized identity protocols (OpenID4CI, OpenID4VP, SIOPv2, OAuth 2.0, OIDC) and a discussion of their applicability in a proof of concept.
