Research Engineer in Space Robotics & AI | Advancing Autonomous Systems for Exploration
I am a mechanical engineer and space roboticist with over a decade of experience in robotics research, development, and deployment. Holding a Master’s degree in Robotics and Autonomy from Drexel University, I specialize in the design and integration of advanced robotic systems that merge mechanical precision with AI-driven autonomy.
My expertise spans legged robots, drones, and autonomous mobile systems, with a strong foundation in mechanical design, CAD modeling (CATIA), and system integration. During my graduate research, I developed an AI-assisted, augmented reality-enabled autonomous mobile robot equipped with dual six-axis robotic arms for advanced object manipulation—a project that demonstrated my ability to conceive, design, and deliver complex, real-world-ready robotic solutions.
Professionally, I bring nine years of automotive engineering experience, where I honed my skills in product lifecycle management, manufacturing processes, and cross-functional collaboration with machinists, suppliers, and manufacturing teams. This background ensures that the innovative robotic systems I design are not only functional but also manufacturable, reliable, and field-ready.
My research extends to space robotics and multi-robot coordination, contributing to swarm robotics concepts for active space debris removal and other AI-driven autonomous systems for high-stakes environments. I thrive at the intersection of mechanical engineering, AI, and space technology, consistently driving innovative solutions from initial concept through prototyping, testing, and operational deployment.
I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems for planetary exploration and in-orbit servicing, and I look forward to collaborating on groundbreaking research that advances the future of space robotics.
