Hi, I'm Andrew

Engineering Science Student at the University of Toronto

My goal is to design robots that will reduce the amount of dangerous and tedious tasks in our lives. To accomplish this, I hope to create methods that will enable robots to reason and act in diverse, real-world situations. My current interests are in long-horizon planning and learning representations for robotics tasks.

Arts

Besides robotics, I studied a bit of music and digital arts. Some highlights include an Associate's Diploma in Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music and a photograph (below) published in Canadian Geographic's Canadian Parks Calendar Series (2020-2021). The rest of my photography portfolio is here.
