Recently, there have been some interesting new results showing that some of the latest large-scale VLMs (Vision-Language Models) can directly control robots to solve a variety of real-world tasks.

After having decided to wrap up my PhD and graduate, I recently found myself having to go through the actual industry job search process.

One of the questions I’ve gotten most frequently over the years is some version of “should I do an AI PhD?”

This year’s CoRL was the biggest CoRL yet, with over 900 attendees, 11 workshops, and almost 200 accepted papers.

A while ago, I had the opportunity to develop and release a new open-source Python library: PGMax.

Writing a good PhD SoP can be a daunting task.

Computer Science has become quite the popular field these days, especially amongst undergraduates.

I recently spent on the order of 2 hours debugging some code that it only took me 1 hour to write.

Recently, I was incredibly excited and humbled to learn that I was selected as a 2021 NSF GRFP Fellow.

One of my favorite blogs in the whole wide Internet is the MIT Admissions Blog.

Earlier this year, I had the incredible privilege of being named a Goldwater Scholar.
