Welcome to my site! I'm interested in all aspects of robotics hardware, software, and practice. I particularly enjoy identifying new problems, exploring unconventional solutions, and thinking about how robots can change how people live today.
I was previously a robotics Ph.D student at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. George Kantor. My thesis work was on how robots can self-tune their perception systems to improve state estimation reliability in diverse environments.
My resume can be found [here].
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and sewing. People who know me say I have a talent for eating desserts extremely rapidly, but I dispute that characterization.
