I am a PhD student at the University of Washington in Computer Science and Engineering supervised by Prof. Ali Farhadi and Prof. Ranjay Krishna (RAIVN Lab). In the summers of 2023 and 2024, I was a research intern with the PRIOR team at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2), where I worked closely with Kuo-Hao Zeng and Kiana Ehsani. Previously, I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. During the final year of my bachelor's program, I was a visiting student at EPFL where I worked in VILAB under the supervision of Prof. Amir Zamir. My research interests lie in the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and embodied-AI. |

RING is an embodiment-agnostic policy, trained solely in simulation with diverse randomly initialized embodiments at scale. RING generalizes to diverse real-world embodiments despite being trained exclusively in simulation without access to the real robot configurations. |
