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.
