I am a Ph.D. student in the Mechanical Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Amir Barati Farimani. I am interested in combining machine learning and virtual reality to help create robust robotic control systems to automate complex tasks. I completed a Master’s in mechanical engineering with a focus on robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, and I received my Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and road trips.
