Hi, I am a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute working with Prof. Aaron Johnson. I’m interested in developing algorithms for agile locomotion and dexterous manipulation. I’m fortunate to be supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. During my time here, I’ve also worked with Prof. Sarah Bergbreiter on micro-scale manipulators and design of miniature walking robots.

Prior to joining CMU, I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I worked with Prof. Elliot Hawkes on everting soft robots for industrial inspection and shape-changing robotic collectives. I have also spent summers working at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, CMU Robotics Institute Summer Scholars, and SpaceX.
