I am a research engineer in the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT. My role includes project management, programming, solution and system design, hardware configuration, etc. Prior to joining IRG, I worked as an IT manager and consultant in the corporate and education sectors.

My educational background includes a BS in Management Information Systems from the University of South Florida and an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a Robotics Specialization from Boston University. I am interested in pursuing a PhD in Robotics with a focus on using the shared spatial information provided by augmented reality to enable close-proximity human-robot collaboration in industries ranging from manufacturing to logistics, agriculture, and food service.
