Background
  • Currently a postdoc at UC Berkeley working with Anca Dragan. Research interests include reinforcement learning applications in the real world, particularly RL for deep brain stimulation. During her PhD, she focused on developing deep learning algorithms to personalize autonomous systems, accounting for heterogeneity in human-machine interaction.
Miscellany
  • Recipient of the Accessibility, Rehabilitation, and Movement Science Fellowship
