Research

I study efficient AI systems for foundation models and embodied agents, focusing on inference, memory, and computation reuse.

Research areas

  • Efficient AI Systems

    • Memory systems, KV-cache reuse, and foundation-model serving.
    • Computation reuse and low-latency inference for interactive agents.
  • Robot Foundation Models

    • Efficient VLA and multimodal inference in continuous perception–action loops.
    • Temporal reuse, asynchronous inference, and stale-state mitigation.
  • Embodied AI & Robot Learning

    • Reusable robot skills, executable policies, and feedback-driven adaptation.
    • Evaluation in simulation and real-world robotic manipulation.
