I am a third year Ph.D. student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program and Center for Machine Learning and Health (CMLH) Translational Fellowship in Digital Health. I am co-advised by Professor Zackory Erickson and Professor Carmel Majidi and collaborate with Dr. Sonal Choudhary at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). My research is centered around wearable devices, assistive robotics, and robotic sensing. Email / CV / Portfolio / Google Scholar / LinkedIn |

After going through several severe health challenges and hospitalizations in high school and switching to homeschooling, where I was not offered honors or AP courses, I surprisingly received admission to UC Berkeley. I initially chose to study Psychology with the aim of becoming a licensed therapist for chronically-ill adolescents, but later switched majors to Mechanical Engineering, inspired to pursue a career in robotics for social good. My health challenges have showed me that life should not be taken for granted. Over the last few years, I've made an effort to live my life to the fullest, pursuing and fighting for exciting and impactful opportunities. I've accomplished so much so far and I can't wait to do more. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. During my undergraduate years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Professor Sergey Levine at the Robotic AI & Learning Lab, Professor Alice Agogino at the Berkeley Emergent Space Tensegrities Lab, and Professor Wenzhen Yuan at the RoboTouch Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to research, I interned at SpaceX for two summers, in Boca Chica, Texas where I led a project to deploy robot dogs for the Starship Launch Operations Team, and in Cape Canaveral, Florida where I upgraded the control systems for the Of Course I Still Love You droneship for the Falcon 9 Booster Recovery Team. I additionally interned for robotics startup, ViaBot, where I did rapid prototyping and mechatronics design for RUNO. Lastly, I led the RoboBears combat robotics team at UC Berkeley, where I organized the Cal Combat Robotics Competition. |
