Incoming M.S. in Robotics @ Carnegie Mellon University

B.S. in Computer Engineering @ Purdue University

Robotics Software Engineer Intern @ AeroVironment Inc.



I'm going to be starting a Masters in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University in Fall 2025. Having just graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering at Purdue University, concentrating in artificial intelligence/machine learning and computer systems, I am spending this Summer at AV as a Robotics Software Engineering Intern in MacCready Works R&D Department's Autonomy Team. I love robotics and want to work towards using robots to work with and improve humanity. I also want to improve the way robots perceive the world and increase the capability of using robots in a domestic setting with human beings.

Having done robotics research since 2021, I am stepping towards contributing significantly to the field. My primary interests at the moment include perception, manipulation and human-robot interaction and collaboration. While at Purdue, I also led the largest robotics club there (ARC), with a heavy focus on research.

Outside of these, I love playing basketball 🏀, the piano 🎹, geeking out over basketball and Formula 1 🏎️, and trying new foods!
