I’m particularly interested in the applications of robotics in improving quality of life through fields such as autonomous vehicles, aerial robotics, and assistive robotics. Currently I am performing research in autonomous off-road driving, with a focus on self-supervised learning approaches that can adapt to unseen environments online and in real-time.

While it’s not the focus of my research, I am also passionate about the relevance of artistic and biological concepts in robot development. Currently, I hope to contribute to the field by working in motion planning and perception-related positions, but I also try to keep up with the state-of-the-art in computer vision, audio processing, and brain-computer interfaces.

As a pianist, violinist, and (recently) guitarist, I’ve enjoyed music for as long as I can remember. At Pitt, I have performed in the symphony orchestra and played in the pit for various musicals. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, playing tennis and table tennis, and drinking herbal tea.
