Engineer, Roboticist, and Human-Computer Interaction Researcher
I recently was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Human-Robot Interaction at the University of Melbourne, and am currently searching for a new position.
I am interested in human-robot interaction, human-computer interaction, control theory, mechanical design, assistive technology, human-factors engineering, user experience design, and robotics. I enjoy combining my technical skills with quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate and design novel technology solutions. I also am passionate about creating supportive and engaging entry points into the fields of Mechanical Engineering and Human-Robot Interaction, as demonstrated through my work in collegiate education in engineering and robotics.
Before coming to the University of Melbourne in June 2024, I completed my doctoral program at Tufts University studying Mechanical Engineering and Human-Robot Interaction in May 2024. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at the University of New Hampshire, and graduated with University Honors in Mechanical Engineering in 2019.
As I continue on my career journey, I hope to continue to utilize my interdisciplinary skill set and support the next generation of engineers, roboticists, and designers.
