I’m a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, where I work with Michael Posa in the DAIR lab.

I specialize in developing control systems and their supporting algorithms for robots operating in the real world. My research interests include bipedal locomotion, and applications of optimization and machine learning to robot control.

Before coming to Penn, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue. I have also worked as a controls engineering intern at John Deere and Intuitive Surgical.
