Experience
PhD Candidate
I am currently a Robotics Ph.D. Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University, interested in human-robot interaction. My advisor is Dr. Reid Simmons
NVIDIA Graduate Intern
I worked at NVIDIA as a graduate intern to develop a task specification interface where the human can specify their preferences iteratively on a complex task (such as grocery packing) so the robot can customize how it performs a task.
Siemens Graduate Intern
I worked at Siemens as an intern to develop a demonstration of a robot imitating human movement in real-time towards the goal of creating socially-aware, cognizant manufacturing assistants for the factory for the future. This work is a collaboration between Siemens and Dr. Amy LaViers from the RAD Lab
Air Force Research Laboratory Graduate Intern
I was an AFRL Scholar at Kirtland Air Force Base on a project involving the development and enhancement of holonomic, omnidirectional robots' capabilities for algorithmic development and testing.
Masters Student
I worked with Dr. Amy LaViers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the Robotics, Automation, and Dance (RAD) Lab, we try to better understand human movement, so we can program and control robots to execute more complex movements.
Engineering Design Head Writing Mentor
I worked as the head writing mentor to a freshman engineering design course (ENGI 120) during my senior year of college. This job involved technical writing, organizational, and leadership skills.
SURE Robotics Intern (Research Experiences for Undergraduates)
I worked at RAIL (Robotic Autonomy and Interactive Lab) at Georgia Tech through a summer research program. My advisor was Dr. Sonia Chernova, and I worked closely with post-doctoral fellow Reza Ahmadzadeh.
Software Development and Marketing Intern
I performed market research, competitive analysis, database development, website design for Human Talented.
Quality Assurance Automation Intern
I developed automation scripts to test current products and identify defects for IRON Solutions.
