About Me
I am a third-year Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Northeastern University. I am currently a research assistant in the RIVeR Lab under the supervision of Professor Taskin Padir.
Through mentorship in both industry and academia, I gained both Research and Engineering experience in robotics across hardware, software, and the space in between.
I gained valuable industry experience as a Research intern at OMRON SINIC X where I researched contact-rich manipulation with tactile sensing through sim2real and imitation learning. I also had the opportunity to develop autonomous multi-modal locomotion robots at the Silicon Synapses Lab under Professor Ramezani Alireza, and uncertainty-aware exoskeletons at the Shepherd’s Lab 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.
