Biography

I am a PhD student in Robotics at the University of Michigan, advised by Dmitry Berenson and Nima Fazeli. My research is at the intersections of perception and planning for contact-rich manipulation.

Before joining Michigan, I was an Intern at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on the Perception Systems team. I worked on the proposed Mars Sample Return project. I graduated with my Honors Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from the University of Utah in May 2020, where I worked with Tucker Hermans on geometrically-aware robotic grasping (see our ICRA 2020 paper). During my undergraduate degree, I also interned at Mila under the supervision of Liam Paull.
