I am an incoming PhD student in the AI Lab at the University of Michigan advised by Prof. Stella Yu. I earned my BSE (2020-2023) and MSE (2023-2024) at the University of Michigan.

What I’m Doing Now

I’m extending my internship at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory throughout this school year. I’ll continue working on the surface simulation stacks for the Mars 2020 mission, the Mars Sample Return mission, and the soon-to-be-launched CADRE tech demo.

I’m working as a researcher in the Intelligent Robotics and Autonomy Lab (IRAL) under professor Vasileios Tzoumas. Right now, we’re developing and testing stable controllers for a drone with additional degrees of freedom for each propellor.

I’m completing my master’s in Computer Engineering with a focus on robotics. This semester, I’m enrolled in Mobile Robotics (ROB 530), Marine Robotics (ROB 572), and Action & Perception (EECS 598) at UofM.
