Welcome!

I'm a senior undergraduate at Cornell University, very fortunate to be working with Professors Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee and Andrea Bajcsy. I'm currently interested in safe physical human-robot interaction using deep learning methods.

I'm actively looking for research opportunities! If you're working on related projects or have opportunities available, please let me know!
