I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Material Science, Yale University. My research interests are in robotics and compliant mechanisms with a focus on the mechanics and design of soft robots.
Previously, I obtained my PhD in Systems Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019. At UIUC, I worked with Dr. Girish Krishnan as part of Monolithic Systems Lab on the design and analysis of fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuators for soft robotic applications.
