A bit about me
I'm a Robotics PhD student, who came from three years in the aerospace industry. I'm intellectually curious with a strong foundation in both leadership and teamwork. My core strengths are in human-robot interaction, machine learning, mechanical design, control theory, neural networks, space mechanisms, and fusion propulsion.
My current research projects are Understanding Neuromuscular Adaptations in Human-Robot Physical Interaction for Adaptive Robot Co-Workers and Adaptive Intelligence for Cyber-Physical Automotive Active Safety System Design and Evaluation and I'm advised by Dr. Karen Feigh.

Recent Projects
NSF-CPS: Adaptive Intelligence for Cyber-Physical Automotive Active Safety System Design and Evaluation
The main objective of this research is to use techniques and models from human factors, computational neuroscience, and adaptive and real-time optimal control theory in order to investigate the effects of the introduction of learning and adaptation to the next generation of ASCS. In particular, we will:
(a) Learn the driver’s habits, driving skills, patterns and weaknesses.
(b) Model his/her current cognitive state along multiple dimensions such as attentiveness, aggressiveness, etc.
NSF NRI-Small: Understanding Neuromuscular Adaptations in Human-Robot Physical Interaction for Adaptive Robot Co-Workers
The goal of this award is to develop theories, methods, and tools to understand the mechanisms of neuromotor adaptation in human-robot physical interaction. Human power-assisting systems, e.g., powered lifting devices that aid human operators in manipulating heavy or bulky loads, require physical contact between the operator and machine, creating a coupled dynamic system.
