I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
My main research interests lie in embodied intelligence, shared autonomy, and control. My work investigates the fundamental challenges for making intelligent robots more resilient and efficient in extremely challenging environments such as autonomy, control, decision-making, and sensing. I explore the application of multi-agent teaming to vital field operations (e.g., space exploration, fire suppression, disaster response, wilderness medicine) to prevent severe work-related injuries.
Previously, I completed my PhD in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where I worked with Dr. Daniel E. Koditschek. I received my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland. In my spare time, I am heavily involved in public service initiatives, especially through organizations that support underrepresented communities in STEM. I’m also a huge basketball fan and play recreationally.
