About

I'm a Master's student at ETH Zurich. I study how reinforcement learning can turn pretrained models into large generalist policies, with a focus on scalable RL, offline RL, and RL post-training for vision-language-action models (VLAs).

I'm always happy to talk about research and collaborations, so feel free to reach out.
