I am a second‑year Master’s student in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Zac Manchester. My research focuses on simulation, control, and learning algorithms for contact-rich and high-dimensional robotic systems.
Previously, I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2022, where I worked with Ye Zhao and Matthew Gombolay.
