Hello!

I'm an incoming robotics master's student at Carnegie Mellon University.

Previously, I was very fortunate to have worked with Professors Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee and Andrea Bajcsy on 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!
