Jay Vakil

I am a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Alessandro Roncone. My research focuses on Robot Learning, Mobile Manipulation, and Embodied AI, building intelligent agents that can interact robustly with the physical world.

Before starting my PhD, I was a Robotics Research Engineer at Meta AI (FAIR), where I contributed to large-scale initiatives such as RT-X, RoboAgent, and OK-Robot.
