Very excited to announce that I'll be joining @MIT's AeroAstro department as a Boeing Assistant Professor in Fall 2024. I'm thankful to my mentors and collaborators who have supported me during my PhD, and I look forward to working with students and colleagues at @MITEngineering.

- PhD application season is here! The CLEAR Lab @ MIT CSAIL is recruiting students excited about human-centered robot learning and algorithmic HRI. If you're interested in working on: 🤝 IRL & preference learning 🎛️ steering & finetuning large behavior models (diffusion
- I’m at NeurIPS for the week — DM me if you want to chat about research, our lab at MIT, PhD applications or all of the above!
- Our new work on reward learning using feature traces, a novel type of human input, was nominated for a best paper award at #HRI2021! Take a look: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…. Joint work with Marius Wiggert, Claire Tomlin, and @ancadianadragan. (1/6)
- Prof. @DorsaSadigh from Stanford University is getting us started by telling us about Interactive Learning in the Era of Large Models! #ICML2023
- How can robots align their representations of the task with their human partners? Really excited to be organizing a #CoRL2022 workshop exploring this topic! We have an amazing lineup of speakers, and we're now accepting submissions until 10/21: …robot-human-representations.github.io
- What does it mean for humans and robots to align their representations of their tasks and how do current approaches fare? Come see at #HRI2024 in the Tuesday 17:10 session! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2302.01928 w/ @TheAndiPenguin,@pulkitology, @julie_a_shah, @ancadianadragan
- We’re organizing a very exciting workshop at ICML this year! If your work touches upon interactive learning or learning from human feedback, this workshop is for you!Very excited to announce our workshop on 'Interactive Learning from Implicit Human Feedback' at @ICML2023 this year!
- Join us tomorrow for a very exciting workshop on Interactive Learning from Implicit Human Feedback at @ICML2023! We're thrilled to have 8 invited speakers, 38 contributed papers & posters, and not one but two panel discussions! More details: …-learning-implicit-feedback.github.io
- How can we easily teach robots nuanced concepts like "left of" and "in front of" for unseen objects, without tens of thousands of labeled examples? New IROS/RA-L paper: sites.google.com/nvidia.com/act… w/ @chris_j_paxton, @wei_yang_cv, @balakumar_, @YuWeiChao1, @mayacakmak and Dieter Fox.
- How can we learn one foundation model for HRI that generalizes across different human rewards as the task, preference, or context changes? Come see at #HRI2023 in the Thursday 13:30 session! Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35… w/ Yi Liu, @rohinmshah, @daniel_s_brown, @ancadianadragan
- Thank you @DeepMind and @Microsoft for sponsoring our Workshop on Interactive Learning with Implicit Human Feedback @ICML23! Together they are sponsoring 15 student registrations which we will distribute once we select our accepted paper contributions!
