I develop technical algorithms, user studies, and theoretical principles for physically assistive human-robot interaction. My research combines rich human experience and complex robot autonomy to enable creative, flexible, and fluent robots for assistive applications.
I am looking for research jobs! I am currently in Somerville, MA but may be willing to relocate for the right position. Please email me directly if you have information about robotics or HRI research opportunities!
I was recently a postdoc at the AABL Lab at Tufts University in Medford, MA. There, my work focused on developing complex robot autonomy and shared control algorithms to empower users, under a grant titled “Mutually Assistive Robotics.”
I earned a Ph. D. at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I worked at the HARP Lab with Henny Admoni, studying how to incorporate eye gaze into assistive teleoperated manipulations.
From 2012-2015, I worked at the Naval Research Lab in DC as a support mechanical (and software) engineer, where I worked on radar and autonomy research.
I graduated from MIT in 2012 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Ancient-Medieval Studies.
