I am a graduate student at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I am interested in working at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and robotics.
Before joining CMU, I worked as a Research Associate at Prof Howie Choset's Biorobotics Lab on skill learning and snake robots. During my undergrad, I spent time working at Dr. Shital Chiddarwar's IvLabs, building a stair climbing robot and an assistive robot. I spent the summer of 2020 working in Dr. David Held's R-PAD Lab as a part of the Robotics Institute Summer Scholar’s Program remotely.
Besides research, I enjoy music, biking, and spending time in nature.
