Academic Achievements
  • No specific achievements listed, but noted contributions to micro-robotic technology.
Research Experience
  • Has also worked on the modeling, design, and fabrication of robot end-effectors (i.e., hands and feet) aimed at simplifying planning and control or achieving novel capabilities (e.g., climbing). Applied these tools to the Harvard Ambulatory Microrobot (HAMR) to improve its performance and enable dynamic behaviors such as jumping.
Education
  • PhD from Harvard University under Professors Robert Wood and Scott Kuindersma; Postdoctoral researcher at MIT working with Professor Alberto Rodriguez.
Background
  • Current research focuses on developing algorithms that leverage trajectory optimization, control/estimation theory, and mechanics to plan and execute contact-rich robotic manipulations. Previously worked on automating the generation of closed-loop locomotion trajectories for computationally limited centimeter-scale legged robots.
