Hello! I am a first-year PhD student at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute.

I recently graduated from Olin College of Engineering where I studied Robotics. At Olin, I worked with Professor Victoria Dean on developing modular robot manipulation policies and with Professor Paul Ruvolo on Visual-SLAM for indoor navigation to help blind/low-vision individuals. 

I am passionate about all aspects of developing robotic systems and have experience working with drones, robot arms, soft robots, mobile robots, and more. I am currently excited about improving dexterous manipulation by integrating methods in learning and model-based control.

For my research check out my Google Scholar, below are some of the various robot projects I have worked on:
