About Me
I am a fourth-year Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Northeastern University. Under the supervision of Professor Taskin Padir, I am currently researching manipulation and autonomy.
Until December, I am researching robot manipulation for warehouse applications at the Innovation Lab at Amazon Robotics. Additionally, I am contributing to the open source SONiC Platform Driver Development Kit under the close guidance of mentors at the Linux Foundation.
In the past, I gained valuable industry research experience as a Research Intern at OMRON SINIC X in Tokyo where I researched contact-rich manipulation for soft robotics. During my undergraduate studies, I also had the opportunity to develop autonomous multi-modal locomotion robots under Professor Alireza Ramezani, and uncertainty-aware exoskeletons under Professor Max Shepherd.

My early work in athletic training and at Stanford Sports Medicine Lab initially drew me toward biomechanics and pre-med. As I began working on assistive robotics in college, however, I found myself more captivated by solving the challenge of creating adaptive systems that work at and alongside human capability in open, real-world environments. I am especially interested in tackling this through robotic manipulation.
