About Me

I am currently a PhD student at The Ohio State University studying computer science and engineering, advised by Dr. Christopher Stewart and Dr. Tanya Berger-Wolf.

Expected Graduation: Spring 2026

I graduated with a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2018. I interned at General Electric, Georgia Pacific, and LBrands during my undergraduate studies. I participated in several study abroad programs, including India, Greece, Switzerland, and the U.K. After graduation, I worked as a Data Services Product Owner at Bath & Body Works in Columbus, Ohio.

My Research Interests

My research is focused on optimizing aerial system controls and designing autonomous navigation models and edge architecture for dynamic field animal behavior studies. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can easily traverse remote terrain and quickly navigate around occlusions to collect imagery for animal ecology studies. Multiple UAVs, or a swarm, provide multiple views of group-living animals, providing richer insight into animal behaviors in the wild. However, animals are dynamic and unpredictable, requiring system control and autonomous navigation models capable of adapting to dynamic scenes. Edge systems bring compute resources close to the data source, enabling real-time analysis, reducing latency, and efficiently managing the unpredictable workloads generated by autonomous navigation models.
