I'm a Computer and Information Science PhD student in the GRASP lab at the University of Pennsylvania, co-advised by Prof. Vijay Kumar and Prof. George Pappas. I am supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Previously, I was a Computer Science and Mathematics undergraduate Goldwater Scholar at Saint Louis University, working under Prof. Madi Dian at the Mecharithm Lab.
I've been fortunate to collaborate with many great researchers throughout my research career. During my undergraduate studies, I also worked with Prof. Joseph Davidson at the Oregon State University Intelligent Machines and Materials Lab on cacheable, safe, robotic crop manipulation. Before that, I worked with Prof. Aaron Ames and Prof. Xiao Tan at the Caltech AMBER Lab on risk-aware control for belief-based autonomous navigation.
Feel free to contact me about my work, your own research, or anything else. Reaching out via email would be best.
I'm interested in multi-robot collaboration, human-robot interaction, and game theory for solving real-time group planning and communication problems found in field-robotic applications with inherent uncertainty (including agriculture and human-assistive care). In other words, I'm researching how mixed human-robot teams can coordinate what to tell or ask of one another, when neither the world nor team-member intent is fully understandable.
Combines EEG, EMG, and gaze to judge when a user is ready to commit to an assistive manipulation action (with safety barriers).
An online/offline control system for mobile robots using natural language commands with large language models.
Combines natural language processing, computer vision, and edge computing for a robotic arm to interpret and execute spoken commands.
A transformer model to utilize muscle EMG signals for upper-limb gesture classification.
Incorporates a Belief Control Barrier Function for SLAM systems.
Presents an Adversary is on the Road (AoR) attack for many visual SLAM systems.
I used to play professional Overwatch esports. See my Liquipedia page.
I'm always listening to music, from every genre ever. I have a playlist of 14k songs that I shuffle and listen to. See my Spotify.
Here's the concerts I've been to (in order since I was 14)
If you're trying to find your way into undergraduate research and feel a bit lost, I wrote a page for you.
