About Me

I'm a PhD Student at Northeastern University, studying under Prof. Rob Platt. I research robotic manipulation, and methods for making robots more skillful, reliable, and general.

I did my undergrad at The University of Utah, and got degrees in Computer Engineering, Applied Math, and Computer Science. There I researched under Tucker Hermans, studying manipulation.
