Biography
Hi! I’m a Masters student at Carnegie Mellon University. I am fascinated by robots and hope to use them to make meaningful impact on people’s lives. I am actively looking for full-time opportunities starting May 2024.
Currently I'm working with Prof Sebastian Scherer at the AirLab on Autonomous UAV flight through dense visually degraded wildfires. Recently, I interned at Diamond Age 3D as a Robotics Software Engineer working on motion planning for autonomous construction robots. In the past, I worked with Prof Howie Choset on designing gaits for snake robots, including the NASA-JPL EELS robot and developing medical sensors to aid in Autonomous Robotic needle insertion. Check out all my projects here.
I like to spend my free time reading SciFi/Fantasy, and spending time in nature. Do get in touch with me to discuss Robotics, hiking spots or your favorite SciFi novel!
