Hi, I'm Brian. I'm a roboticist and researcher interested in making robots do useful work. My academic background is optimization-based planning and control, but my toolbox also includes reinforcment learning and other data-based approaches. I have developed or contributed to control systems for mutliple bipedal and humanoid robot platforms, including in my current role at Figure.

I completed my PhD in the DAIR Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, focused on perceptive control of underactuated bipedal walking on rough terrain.
